Knight: Is it the LIGHT counterpart of Armaggedon/Dust Knight? His effect doesn't resemble the one of his brothers, but is good nonetheless.

Battle Ox: Is as useful as the Enraged one, which is not saying much. Probably would remain underused unless he gets a built-in Special Summon.

Gazelle: This one looks fun. Helps with the setup of the Summoning conditions for a few Lightrays, with the chance of thinning the Deck. However, Lightsworns are better at milling than this. Much like Battle Ox, I bet this won't be used often as well. If you wish to fix it, you could edit the effect so the ATK bonus activates regardless of the revealed card.

Illusionist: Now here is a good card. I like how this one also protects from cards that don't destroy. However, if you don't control enough LIGHTs this card might stay dead in the hand for several turns. I suggest to give him a built-in condition for Special Summoning it, similar to "Lightray Madoor".

Swordstalker: Another good card, with incredible offensive capabilities. Being Level 6 makes him unable to Xyz with fellow LIGHTs "Cyber Dragon" and "Ghost Ship" (the later setting up his built-in summoning) but since this is a counterpart not much can be done about that.

Core: Way too good. At least "Dark Core" has a cost, but this is a +0 that banishes; Not even "Dark Mambele" is as good as this card. I would add another activation condition: 3 banished LIGHTs, or 5 different LIGHTs in the Graveyard, up to you.
