Trapcode Particular- light emitter error

So I wanted to give this "meteor shower effect" using trapcode particular.

After creating a light and adding its path, I made a solid and added the trapcode particular effect. 

When the emmiter type was on "point" I was able to view the particles, but as soon as I switched it to light(s) and renamed it, the particles were not visible at all.  I have also shared the pictures of the steps that I used, and I have also shared the picture of the actual meteor shower effect that I want to re-create.
