# SPOTLIGHT Command [GstarCAD 2027](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Index.md) → [Commands](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/(Commands).md) → [S](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/S/(S).md) ## Function Description: This command is used to create a spotlight that emits orientation cone beam. 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>: ``` --- **Related References：** - [Commands about Creating Lights (GstarCAD 2026)](../../../2026/Commands/00%20Command%20Groups/Commands%20about%20Creating%20Lights.md) --- [Original help](https://www.gstarcad.net/help/GstarCAD_2027_en-US/detail/commandReferences_S/SPOTLIGHT.html) · © Gstarsoft Co., Ltd.
