Just curious if anyone had any good reference images of how a light power armour looks like in the 40k universe. since obviously the iconic standard one worn by Marines kinda gets front cover.

 Sorioritas Power Armour is essentialy Light Power Armour. And it can be easily found by google. Other than that I don't think I've ever seen one in the books. I think they would be somethink like in Fallout Tactics: BoS (it even has armlets, and all WH40k power armours have epic armlets).

I'd think that space marine scouts use light ones? 

Adeptus mechanicus contains lunatics with high restrictions, fanatics who follow the machine god… I am the same, except no restrictions.

Deathwatch describes Scout Armour as a special type of Carapace armour.

Actually reading threw the text in the core rulebook about how often traitor forces, marine or not have Power Armour that can be all the way back to the Horus Heresy era. Consider the blunt, medieval feel of older generation Marine armour, I could imagen light armour looking like some modernised medieval full plate.

Older models were generally heavier than the 'modern' models. None of the armour used by Space Marines has ever been 'light' power armour.

I was talking purely out of a aesthetic angle, I´m fully aware Space Marines never used light Power armours, I was drawing parallels between the design of Heresy era Marine power armour and how a light power armour could share the same sources of inspiration, consider the Black Crusade book hints it seamed more common back then for the Imperium to make power armours fit for common men, not just the Astartes.

Scouts actually wear carapace. Its unpowered but its got stealth coatings, autoinjectors and plenty of other goodies.

I've taken to using the term Light Power Armour to refer to any non-Legion/Astartes PA in my games.
