What kind of action does it take to move the 4 lights from the 0 level spell dancing lights if in combat?
Question came up when a party of adventures got into a running battle in a house late at night with no lights. Went from room to room and had the dancing lights as their source of light.
Spell description doesn't really say anything.
The dancing lights must stay within a 10-foot-radius area in relation to each other but otherwise move as you desire (no concentration required): forward or back, up or down, straight or turning corners, or the like. The lights can move up to 100 feet per round. A light winks out if the distance between you and it exceeds the spell's range.

I would go with a free action personally, as it's a non-combat 0-level spell. At most, I would say a Swift Action to move them in combat... not a move action. A move action seems quite excessive to cause a few lights to move to a specific location.
IIRC, that thread referenced several spells that require concentration to move the spells; combat spells at that fact.
