take a look at type-imp-plex.mkiv (just remove the \s! in your case)
basically you define two typefaces: normal and light and then just
switch between these, as in:
at the top of your document you say
\usebodyfont[plex] % preloads
\usebodyfont[plex-light] % preloads
\setupbodyfont[plex] % enables main font
and after that
{\switchtobodyfont[plex-light] .... }
will do a consistent switch
