Advanced light properties
More advanced control over the lighting device properties is possible by editing the light source embedded within the lighting device. Turn the lighting device on and off by editing the embedded light.
To edit the embedded light source:
Select the lighting device.
From the lighting device context menu, select Edit Light.
The Light Properties dialog box opens. These parameters offer full control over the light source, and are described in Light source properties.
Many of the parameters are also available on the Light Information tab of the Lighting Device dialog box.
Various light parameters are disabled, because they are controlled by the lighting device object instead.
Select a light Kind of Custom to associate a light distribution file with the light. Note that light distribution files and theatrical lighting manufacturers may not specify output in the same way.
To enable the light properties, turn the light on from the Properties dialog box, the Lighting Device dialog box, or the Visualization palette, or right-click on the lighting device and select Turn On from the context menu.
