Specify the shape of the shadow by entering s and then the dimensions of the
shape. (For example, the radius of the sphere or the length and width of a
rectangle.)
Specify the sample size by entering a.

Attenuation
Attenuation Type 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.
None. Sets no attenuation. Objects far from the spotlight are as bright as
objects close to the light.
Inverse Linear. Sets attenuation to be the inverse of the linear distance
from the light. For example, at a distance of 2 units, light is half as strong
as at the spotlight; at a distance of 4 units, light is one quarter as strong.
The default value for inverse linear is half the maximum intensity.
Inverse Squared. Sets attenuation to be the inverse of the square of the
distance from the light. For example, at a distance of 2 units, light is one
quarter as strong as at the spotlight; at a distance of 4 units, light is one
sixteenth as strong.
Use Limits Specifies whether to use limits.
Attenuation Start Limit Specifies the point where light starts as an offset
from the center of the light. The default is 0.
Attenuation End Limit 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.
Color/Filter Color
Controls the color of the light.
True Color Specifies a True Color. Enter in the format R,G,B (red, green, blue).
Index Specifies an ACI (AutoCAD Color Index) color.
HSL Specifies an HSL (hue, saturation, luminance) color.
Color Book Specifies a color from a color book.
Exit
Exits the command.
