Low Power Node Support in Nordic BLE mesh

Question

I'd like to use the nrf52832 as a mesh switch with battery powered. But I didn't find any sample code for the Low power feature in current mesh SDK v0.10.1. Does it support this feature now? 
 And does the light node support the friend feature?

The typical low power nodes for the BTLE Mesh are Friend and Mesh over GATT. They are not available in the current release of 0.10.1. They are planned in the release roadmap. You can get the dates by reaching out to the RSM for your territory or directly on the N ordicsemi one on one support portal . 
 Nordicsemi already supports the Enocean energy harvesting BTLE switches with the Mesh so that can address your needs for a light switch. 
The BTLE Mesh releases from Nordicsemi already support the Central role and Peripheral role along with the BTLE Mesh as concurrently running roles. This allows you to use a GATT peripheral as well in the Switch with a Central+Mesh role running on the other side.
