HOTAS controls for external lights?

The other day I saw a video of a Harrier recovery at night on an LHA/LHD, and noticed how they handled external lights:

 

Approach: position lights on, anti-collision lights off, formation lights off

Trap: position lights off, formation lights on for taxi

 

What I noticed, is that the formation lights turned on immediately, from 0 to 100. IIRC in DCS we have an intensity knob for the formation lights, so when we turn them on they're going to graduate from 0 to 100 and not simple go from off to on. This is making me wonder if there's a "black out switch" on the throttle or stick in the Harrier, but I wasn't able to find anything in the manuals or controls list.

There is. It's left of the throttle on the wall, can remember what's it's called though
