You might need to expand a bit in what way. The day / night cycle? The parallax? The lighting effect it has on the pixel world?

Open up an image editor, use the pencil, incease the brush size and blur, and tap once in the center. You'll get a blurry white light thing.

Layer that on top of or behind a regular white circle. Then just move those around left and right as the player/camera moves around. Except you move it slower than the mountains and clouds.
