They were standing in a patch of light from the roof.

He could see a patch of light in the distance.

I walked carefully down to the patch of light and looked around.

The deck below showed a patch of strong light and he could hear someone moving.

Just as day was nothing more than a very large patch of light.

Then a few danced into a clear patch of light.

On the landing, with its patches of light, the dog was waiting for him.

And except for those broken patches of light from the study where we'd sat talking ten minutes earlier, the street was dark.
