Light types

Unity Studio supports multiple types of lights. Each type illuminates your scene differently and exposes different properties to control appearance, range, and shadows. Unity Studio has the following light types:
Directional light
Simulates sunlight or other distant light sources that illuminates the entire scene evenly.
Point light
Illuminates from a single point in all directions, like a bulb or flame.
Spot light
Projects a focused cone of light, like a flashlight or stage light.
