-
Access the properties or settings for the selected light source.

Modify properties such as intensity, spread, temperature, and source radius/length. These settings control how the light interacts with the scene.
-
Pay attention to the direction and angle of the light to achieve the desired illumination.
- Spot lights
- Adjust the Inner cone and outer cone angles. These help in widening or narrowing the effects of spotlights.
- Increase the intensity as required.
- Alter the spread of the light as necessary.
- Change the temperature to match the scene’s mood.

- Area Lights
- Rotate and position the light as required.
- Change the source width and source height to control the size of the light. Note that a smaller size leads to sharper lighting.
- Area light comes with additional constraints such as the Barn door. Alter the size and angle properties to constrain the fall of the light.
