Standard Lights

Standard lights are computer-based objects that simulate lights such as household or office lamps, the light instruments used in stage and film work, and the sun itself. Different kinds of light objects cast light in different ways, simulating different kinds of real-world light sources. Unlike photometric lights, standard lights do not have physically-based intensity values.

For parameters specific to a particular kind of light, see the description of that light type. Parameters specific to standard lights in general, as well as rollouts specific to spotlights and directional lights, are described in Rollouts for Standard Lights.
