Edit the PhotoView properties of lights on the PhotoView tabs of the Directional Light, Point Light, and Spot Light PropertyManagers.

Directional light comes from a source that is infinitely far away from the model. It is a columned light source consisting of parallel rays from a single direction. You can modify the intensity, color, and position of the light source.
A point light comes from a very small light source located at a specific coordinate in the model space. This type of light source emits light in all directions. You can modify the intensity, color, and position of the light source.
A spot light comes from a restricted, focused light with a cone-shaped beam that is brightest at its center. A Spot light can be aimed at a specific area of the model. You can modify the intensity, color, and position of the light source, and you can adjust the angle through which the beam spreads.
