The first experimental light client was released with 1.7. To try out the light mode, simply run parity --light.

--light                        Experimental: run in light client mode. Light clients
                               synchronize a bare minimum of data and fetch necessary
                               data on-demand from the network. Much lower in storage,
                               potentially higher in bandwidth. Has no effect with
                               subcommands (default: false).

By default, each Parity node serves state data for connected light peers. To disable this, use the --no-serve-light command-line flag.

--no-serve-light               Disable serving of light peers. (default: false)
