Hello,
I want to have a Tag that shows me automatically the light group. I couldn't find it under the 'labels' when I searched it.
How do I do it?

Welcome on your first post!

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to tag a light with the info of the light group. Light groups are around to help with rendering tasks, they aren't intended for documentation as far as I know. Are you using them for rendering or do you just want a way to designate a group of lights for documentation? If for rendering, I think you are out of luck. If just for documentation, read below. (If for both, you'd have to do both!)

To create your own "Light Groups" I'd just add a Shared Parameter for your Light Fixtures called "Light Group" and add some designation that can be read by a tag. If you want more info about this approach, feel free to post a follow-up question!
