How to access a variable array from a second script

Question

How to approach, from the second script, to a variable lights [currentIndex] which is the array? Sorry for the bad English Thank you for advice

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class LightSwitchObj : MonoBehaviour {

     public  GameObject[] lights;
     public static int currentIndex = 0;
     float elapsedTime = 0f; // Counts up to repeatTime
     float repeatTime = 2f; // Time taken to repeat in seconds
 
 
            void Update(){
                  elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
         if (elapsedTime >= repeatTime)
         {
           NewRandomObject();
           elapsedTime -= repeatTime;
                    }
     }
     public void NewRandomObject()
     {
         int newIndex = Random.Range(0, lights.Length);
         // Deactivate old gameobject
       lights[currentIndex].SetActive(false);
         // Activate new gameobject
         currentIndex = newIndex;
        lights[currentIndex].SetActive(true);
     }}

this is very simple way:

Make a new script call it anything you want
Make a public variable and call it LightSwitchObj
in this new script you can access the array of the lights gameobject since its a public array variable as well
Attach the new script to a new gameobject
Drag and drop the gameobject that has the first script to assign it to the reference of the new script

and this should work

You can using Singleton to acess varible from anywhere.
Using static varible
Using UI/Light Manager to save it.
