I’m a beginner to Unity but from what I understand, it looks like you want to change THIS object’s light intensity. The code on line 11 will not work for this. Instead, I would use something like this:

GetComponent().intensity

But assuming you are correct in line 11, I noticed that your light variable is named light. Could this be messing up your script? Try changing the name of your light variable.

You were declaring light but then calling upon GameObject. This should fix your problem:

public class Offonlight : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject Light;

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetButton("Fire1"))
        {
            Light.GetComponent<Light>().intensity = 0;
        }
    }
}
