Animating Light Intensity with Animation Curve

Hi guys.

I am currently working on a small script to animate lights with a curve defined in a custom editor. I have checked that the curve being passed at runtime matches the curve defined in the editor and it does, however when I try to assign the curve to an animation clip I am recieving an error I cannot seem to resolve.

The error is:

Can't assign curve because the type does not inherit from Component. UnityEngine.AnimationClip:SetCurve(String, Type, String, AnimationCurve) LightingTrigger:Start() (at Assets/AbeHD Assets/Scripts/Lighting/LightingTrigger.cs:33)

and the code for my setup is:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System;
 using System.Collections;
 
 [Serializable]
 
 [RequireComponent(typeof(BoxCollider))]
 [RequireComponent(typeof(Animation))]
 
 public class LightingTrigger : MonoBehaviour {
 
     private BoxCollider m_cBoxCollider;
     private Light m_cLight;
 
     private Animation m_cAnimation;
     private AnimationClip m_cIntensityClip;
     public AnimationCurve m_cIntensityCurve;
 
     private float m_fIntensity;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
 
         m_cBoxCollider = GetComponent<BoxCollider>();
         m_cBoxCollider.isTrigger = true;
 
         m_cLight = GetComponent<Light>();
 
         m_cAnimation = GetComponent<Animation>();
 
         m_cIntensityClip = new AnimationClip();
 
         m_cIntensityClip.SetCurve("", typeof(float), "light.intensity", m_cIntensityCurve);
 
         m_cAnimation.AddClip(m_cIntensityClip, "Intensity");
         m_cAnimation.Play("Intensity");
     }
 }

Any advice on what I am doing incorrectly would be very much appreciated!

Thanks.
