Lighting fixture schedule by host parameter
Can easily be read with Dynamo
And then stored in a built-in/project/shared)parameter, which you can schedule

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
can i get it without adding something in comments , i mean replace comments column with host
Yes, sure. If you look at my Dynamo script, you will see that I write it into the Comments parameter.
You could create a new project parameter (or add shared parameter to the family) and write it in there.
Few things to consider:
-Parameter needs to be of the writen unit, in this case Text type (when writing text values).
-Parameter should be available before trying to write to it.
-Parameter names are case sensitive.
-Parameter should be a project and/or shared parameter to be able to be scheduled
-Parameter should be an instance parameter (writing to a type parameter goes differently)
-You should not name your parameter "Host", as this is already a parameter in the family and will cause issues, be confusing or throw errors. Name it something unique (e.g. Lightfixture_Host)

No several parameters (the built-in) parameters are always there and hardcoded in Revit, meaning you can not change them. If Autodesk does not make these parameters available for schedules, there is nothing you can do about it. Also Dynamo can not do this. Basically Dynamo is a tool that automates a manual process. So if it is not possible in plain Revit, it is in most cases not possbile with Dynamo.
As the "Host" parameter is not available for Scheduling the solution is to find the value and put it in a new parameter.
You can fake it a little by renaming the header in you schedule
