Quick, easy question about dynamic lighting commands

Is there a keyboard shortcut to send something to the dynamic lighting layer?  I'd like to make "lightbulbs" which have have a diameter of lighting to light up areas that the players have been to.  I can't place them on the dynamic lighting layer first and then activate the lighting, as I don't get the radial menu for tokens on that layer.  If I could have them already "lit" on the GM layer, I could sprinkle them throughout the map and just send them to the dynamic lighting layer as needed.
You can have a light (any token you like, really, so this could be a "lightbulb" ready to go on the GM layer and then just transfer it to the token layer once your players have been through. 
Dynamic light on tokens works on the map and token layers. You can't actually send tokens to the dynamic lighting layer.
The tokens are currently residing on the GM layer, and, for aesthetic reasons, I don't want to put it on the token layer for the players to see.  I'd much prefer putting them on the dynamic lighting layer, but I can't figure out a keyboard shortcut to send them there.

You can copy tokens from the map or token layers and place them (via paste) on the Dynamic Lighting layer. The lighting from a token works while on the DL layer. Then delete the original token.  - Gauss
