Spot lights emit light in a cone shape from a point. They illuminate an area over a range and angle, and the light intensity gradually falls off toward the maximum range. Unlike point lights, which emit light in every direction, spot lights are constrained to a given angle. These types of lights are useful for artificial light sources such as stage lights, headlights, flashlights, and searchlights. To change your light to a point light or directional light, open the light's Inspector window and change Type to your preferred light.
