[Star Wars (Canon/Legends)] Is Force Lightning an inherently Sith/dark ability?

In canon, it does appear to be. We never see a light sider use it.

In Legends, it is also a dark side power, but there is also a light side variant called emerald judgment, which is all the sparks and none of the killing and torturing.
