==Detailed Description==
+
This class is the interface to spot light in the scene.
+
It provides methods to access various parts of a light such as
+
transformation, color, range etc. All methods of this class are
+
implemented by the system. <span style="background:#ffcccc">( Experimental Class )</span> <syntaxhighlight lang="Python">
