hello there (haven't been here awhile to be honest). Anyways, those "microlights" are just smaller arc reactors (otherwise known as micro-RTs). their role is to provide better power distribution from main reactor (faster power re-routes, faster and more powerful charges for the repulsors, etc.) and allow the suit to provide movement even when main reactor is damaged/destroyed. although they do not provide sufficent power for all suit's functions. this design served as basis for newer suits as well, Mark 50 relied on fewer but slightly bigger ones as well as Mark 85 and both Rescue, War Machine (since Mark IV) and Iron Spider suits. to sum it up those lights work as sort of additional batteries for the armor.
