# Lights

> Brighten your scene with various types of light.

Use lights to illuminate objects, parts of your scene, or the entire scene. The light's settings let you control the light's reach, color, intensity, and more.

## 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](/unity-studio/develop/gameobjects/lights/directional.md): Simulates sunlight or other distant light sources that illuminates the entire scene evenly.
[Point light](/unity-studio/develop/gameobjects/lights/point-light.md): Illuminates from a single point in all directions, like a bulb or flame.
[Spot light](/unity-studio/develop/gameobjects/lights/spotlight.md): Projects a focused cone of light, like a flashlight or stage light.
