Getting an object to repel another object

I'm making a game about light and i want the enemies to be repelled by the light when they overlap it. Any ideas how i might do this?

depends how you are using the enemy movement,

if you move the enemies by giving them a speed value (using a variable) then u can reverse that value (if is a negative value make it positive if its a positive value make it negative) and it would change direction.

mainly can be achieve by using a global variable call it speed, and set the object enemy movement speed to that variable every time it needs to, or you change that value.

You could give them bullet behaviour. It has a property called 'Bounce off solids'. It might fit, depending on how much you want the light to overlap. You could set the collision box to a minimum.
