If you're wanting to turn a cylinder into a light, I don't think that's possible. But you can turn the diffuse and ambient all the way up, turn off cast shadows, self shadows, receive shadows on a cylinder and then put several lights INSIDE it and adj the range or fall-off to get the effect you want. But I could be misinterpreting what you're trying to do. Hope this helps. John
