Hi all

I made a pic of how I interpreted the Advanced light settings.  The cent would be the Inner with 100% light.  The farthest edge would be the outter edge at 1% and then after the edge 0%  Is that relatively accurate?

The manual says:
These lights have a steady brightness out to a certain distance called the inner radius. Beyond that distance the light's strength gradually diminishes until at the outer radius and beyond the light has no effect at all.

So you're right except that it's already 0% at the outside perimeter.

Is there any way to get a sharp edged circle of light? I've tried playing around with cut-outs and spotlights, but nothing has really created the intended effect so far.

For a local light, inner radius = outer radius.

+ inner angle = outer angle for a spot light.

Unless I misunderstand what you looking for.

That is actually, though I had to use a spotlight rather than a local light, as you can't edit the inner and outer angle for a local light. Still, thank you very much.
