Create any sort of mesh (say a Plane) and set it up with a Diffuse Material with an Emission node. https://youtu.be/OQD-95pXNlg

In the plugin, how do I assign a difuse material and black body? Only a color is available.

You can rightclick the material and "Create as new light source". Or manually do it by changing the material type in the NodeGraph Editor.
