While taxiing I momentarily lost control of aircraft striking a taxi light.  No injuries to persons in aircraft or on the ground. Causal factor was divided attention due to windshield which kept fogging up after beginning taxi to runway. Corrective action is to stop when windshield begins fogging and discontinue taxi until clear.
