The spotlight (such as a flashlight, theater tracking spotlight or a headlight) can create distribution projections by focused beams. **Note:** If the LIGHTINGUNITS system variable is set to 1 or 2, the Attenuation option has no effect on the light source. This option is kept to maintain compatibility. ## Command Access: > **Icon:** >  > **Menu:** View \> Render \> Light \> New Spotlight > **Ribbon:**  / > **Toolbar:** Light \> New Spotlight > **Command:** SPOTLIGHT > **Alias:** / ## Command Prompts: Specify source location: Specify target location: Enter an option to change \[Name/Intensity factor/Status/Photometry/Hotspot/Falloff/shadoW/Attenuation/filterColor/eXit\] \<eXit\>:
