Answer to why the spot lamp shines outside of the lamp-post.

[Yves Perera]

I’d like to answer your question regarding the fact that the spot lamp can emit light outside of the lamp-post although it’s inside. Instead of changing the “Clip Start” you should go and play with the lamp “Radius”. If the radius is larger than the walls that are containing the lamp, then it will shine outside.

Oh yes, of course @shinsaku , that makes so much sense!

Thanks a lot Yves for pointing that out 👍🏻

Excellent tip, Yves. Great timing too because I’ve been exploring this with my current project. You’ve confirmed what I’ve been suspecting. Thank you!

Great tip! My default radius was set to zero. Wondering why light wasn’t working. This cleared it right up! Thanks!
