I'm starting out with GLSL and I've implemented simple deferred shading that outputs G-buffer with positions, normals and albedo.

I've also written a simple point light shader.

Now I draw a sphere for the point light and output results in a lighting buffer.

The problem is, how do I combine the results of lighting buffer when drawing multiple lights?

E.g. when I'm drawing the second light to the lightbuffer using the point light shader, how do I add first light to the second light in the lighting buffer. I mean, you can't read from and write to the same output buffer?
