I think there is, Vodhin would know best as he made those floodlights. I cannot help ya there

Hang on, ah ha! When you create the light effect point in the importer, if you do it automatically there is a box saying option-One of the options is 'Torch'. Look:

I dunno how you decide which direction it faces however. Or I maybe completely wrong.

Thanks for trying to help! But unfortunaly it is wrong. Torch means it flickers like a torch. But thanks for trying!

You need multiple effect points to create the illusion of directed light. The light effect points allways shine in all directions. Like So:

So the differences in the distance between the centers of your circles determine the angle at which your spotlights shine at, Vodhin?
