Twilight Render supports several different types of lights, including Omni lights, which emit light equally in all directions, Spot lights, which emit light in a cone, Projector lights, which emit light in a rectangular pyramid, and IES lights, which emit light in complex patterns. How blurry, or soft, the shadow is depends on the light Size.

Soft Shadow enables or disables blurry shadows.

Only biased render presets (Low/Low+ through High/High+) are affected by this unbiased presets will always cast shadows.

Shadow enables or disables the casting of shadows from this light.

The amount of light is always Power X Efficiency. The Efficiency selector has many predefined light types and the corresponding efficiency percentage.

Power and Efficiency work together to control the amount of light produced.

It is important to make sure that your light is not intersecting any other scene geometry! You will notice when you change the radius that the size of the light component in your scene changes to reflect the change in size.

Color changes the color of the emitted light.

The realtime preview in the editor shows the effects of your change. The Twilight Render Light Editor allows you to set various properties of your light, like color and size.
