You may have the Draft 3D composition switch enabled. If it is then make sure that you turn that off. You can find information on this in the help.

in the Adobe After Effects Forum
I see now what the problem is. You can't expect to see light being cast on a pure black solid. A pure black object absorbs all light. Obviously there's no such thing as pure black in the...

You can use a radial blur set to zoom to achieve somewhat limited volumetric lighting. You can even use expressions to make them interactive in 3D space (again, somewhat limited).
There's a tutorial here that covers a lot of this:...

in the Adobe After Effects Forum
The way I would approach this is by looping through random points on the layer, sampling its alpha and stopping the loop when the sample point is over a threshold of alpha value.
