Properties of Light

Type	Type of light. Available types are: Point (Omni), This light casts rays in all directions. Spot - Spotlights cast their rays in just one direction, Directional (Infinite) - This light casts rays in one direction from an infinite distance,
Color	Light color
Intensity	Value controls the brightness of the light source.
Light Radius	Radius of lighting sphere. Used by raytracer in order to simulate area light and generating soft shadows.
Direction	Rays direction of spot or directional lights.
Inner Angle	For spot lights. Everything inside this angle is fully lit by the spotlight.
Outer Angle	For spot lights. Everything outside this angle is not lit by the spotlight. Light intensity falls from 1 to 0 between Inner and Outer angles.
Target	Target follow to object. If specified, spot light will follow this object. Target Object.
Attenuation	Attenuation type controls how light intensity decreases with moving away from light source: None - no attenuation Step - light switches off after reaching Inner radius. Linear - Light intensity if constant inside of inner radius, fully off outside of outer radius and lineary decreases from Inner to Outer radius. Inverse Square - represents real light source. Inner radius is distance with 1 intesity. Outside of this radius intesity of light decreases.
Inner Radius	Inner light raidus
Outer Radius	Outer light radius.
Visibility	There is a choice from 4 options: Fully Visible Visible Node / Hidden Children Hidden Node / Visible Children Fully Hidden
