Try parenting the light (say) to the mesh. First move the light to where you want it in relation to the mesh, and then:

EntityParent light,mesh

Now every time you move or rotate the mesh, the light will move as if it's a part of it! Particle emitters are trickier, and depend on the system you're using, but it's essentially the same thing.
