Not completely sure I understand your problem:

You have a scene and lights in them. You want to keep them selected as a means of highlighting to the user which lights are active?

If so, then there's a couple ways I can think of doing this, both of which are kind of hacky.

1. Add a scriptJob that monitors SelectionChanged event and always ensure those lights are on the selection list.

2. The reason they deselect is because by default all the tools are selection based tools. You could optionally write your own context, set your tool to that context and have it ignore mouse clicks so that nothing gets deselected on clicks in the screen.

3. I would have actually suggested this as a first option, but in testing it, it doesn't look like it actually works. I would have suggested originally to use the Drawing Overrides on the light to configure the wireframe color and state. But it seems like the overrides don't work on the light's wireframe.
