Right-click (Windows) or Control-Click (Macintosh) on the vector/shape layer (or any layer) and choose Convert to Smart Object from the contextual menu.

Then go ahead and choose Filter > Render > Lighting Effects. This will apply a Smart Filter to the Smart Object layer.

If you need to later edit the shape, simply double-click the Smart Object layer and it will open in a new window allowing you to edit the shape.
