How do I change the font of my UISegmentedControl to the "Light" styled system font?

I'm trying to change the style of the text in my UISegmentedControl. I want to use the system font but the "Light" style of it. I understand how exactly to do this in terms of the line of code, literally just need the string to establish the Light system font. I have tried "System-Light" and some others but it keeps resulting in an error, yet any other (custom) fonts work fine.

i.e. :

let attr = NSDictionary(object: UIFont(name: "WHAT GOES IN HERE????", size: 13.0)!, forKey: NSFontAttributeName) UISegmentedControl.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes(attr as [NSObject : AnyObject], forState: .Normal)

Any ideas?

To create a system font, instead of the standard UIFont constructor use the class method UIFont.systemFontOfSize(fontSize, weight). For the light font use the UIFontDescriptor constant UIFontWeightLight.

For reference see UIFont and UIFontDescriptor class references.
