Creates a target point light.
The following prompts are displayed.
Specifies where the light is located. Enter coordinate values or click to specify a point in the drawing.
Sets the location for the target light. Enter coordinate values or click a location in the drawing area.
Specifies the name of the light. You can use uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens (-), and underscores (_) in the name.
Sets the intensity or brightness of the light.
Turns the light on and off.
(Available when the LIGHTINGUNITS system variable is 1 or 2.)
Photometry is the measurement of the luminous intensities of visible light sources.
In photometry, luminous intensity is a measure of the perceived power emitted by a light source in a particular direction. Luminous flux is the perceived power per unit of solid angle. The total luminous flux for a lamp is the perceived power emitted in all directions. Luminance is the total luminous flux incident on a surface, per unit area.
Enter an intensity value in candelas, flux value, or illuminance value.
Exits the Photometry prompt.
Makes the light cast shadows.
Turns off the display and calculation of shadows for the light. Turning shadows off increases performance.
Displays shadows with sharp edges. Use this option to increase performance.
Displays realistic shadows with soft edges.
Displays realistic shadows with softer shadows (penumbra) based on extended light sources.
Controls how light diminishes over distance. The farther away an object is from a spotlight, the darker the object appears. Attenuation is also known as decay.
Controls how light diminishes over distance. The farther away an object is from a point light, the darker the object appears. Attenuation is also known as decay.
Specifies whether to use limits or not.
Specifies the point where light starts as an offset from the center of the light.
Specifies the point where light ends as an offset from the center of the light. No light is cast beyond this point. Setting an end limit increases performance where the effect of lighting is so minimal that the calculations are wasted processing time.
Controls the color of the light.
Specifies a True Color. Enter in the format R,G,B (red, green, blue).
Specifies an ACI (AutoCAD Color Index) color.
Specifies an HSL (hue, saturation, luminance) color.
Specifies a color from a color book.
Exits the command.
