Summary: There are two occurrences in which the title “Lord of Light” is used in reference to Shaemdiel, the fallen Arch-Angel of Elohim (E:5:51; 1:8:24). The phrase is also used a single time to identify the Azraella as he greeted Yaldabaoth prior to the advent of the Second War in Heaven (6:9:18).

Notes/References:

6th Endowment 9:18

And there was gathered in the darkness Yaldabaoth, and beside him moved Jehovah-Yahweh, who did look with evil intent upon the countenance of the Fallen One; and round about the Chief Demiurgos did Lucifer behold the legions of the Demiurge; and Yaldabaoth spoke softly unto Lucifer, saying:

“Hail fair Prince, Lord of Light and Glory; come you closer still and tell me for what purpose would you come so suddenly upon me; for I perceive in your countenance a troubling demeanor filled with foreboding. Come now and speak plainly. What is there in yonder world that would trouble the Prince of Salem so?”
