Can a dynamic light be a spotlight?

The light will be attached to a vehicle.

Have searched and not found a clear answer.

I thought I'd ask prior to conducting some testing and maybe save some time. Thanks in advance.

Hi Randy,

Dynamic lights can only be point lights, though you can attach a volume light (that provides the beam) and make it a small radius dynamic point light. Sometimes the volume light itself is enough (with lighting turned off). It depends on the scene.

Thanks John, that will save me a little R&D.

I appreciate (and am impressed) by how promptly you respond to all these threads.
