If it's just movement you're after key framing them would be one answer, alternatively you could attach them to a motion path and have them move along that. I would probably take the motion path option as you can adjust the path more easily.

Hope that helps,

Mat.

What mat said.. but if you are talking about the light brighness then hit ctrl A and going under the lights settings and just right click on them and hit "key selected"

Hope this helps.
