# Prepare and upgrade sprites and projects for lighting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To light a sprite with [2D lights](2DLightProperties.md), first go to the [Sprite Renderer](xref:class-SpriteRenderer) component of the sprite and assign a material with a Shader that reacts to 2D lights. When you drag sprites onto the scene, Unity automatically assigns the `Sprite-Lit-Default` material to them which enables them to interact and appear lit by 2D lights.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also [create a custom Shader](ShaderGraph.md) that reacts to lights with the [Shader Graph package](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.shadergraph@latest).

## Upgrading existing materials
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are installing the URP package into an existing project with preexisting prefabs, materials or scenes, you will need to upgrade any materials used to a lighting compatible Shader if you want to use the package's 2D lighting features.

**Warning:** The following task automatically upgrades a scene or project in a one way process. Unity can't revert upgraded scenes or projects to their previous state. Before you start this task, back up any files you don't want to lose or converted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To upgrade your project, go to **Window > Rendering > Render Pipeline Converter**. Enable **Material Upgrade** and then select **Convert Assets** to begin the upgrade.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For information on converting assets made for a Built-in Render Pipeline project to assets compatible with 2D URP, refer to [Render Pipeline Converter](features/rp-converter.md#converters).
