To simulate a point light, create 6 spotlights, parent 5 of those lights to the first light. Set the x,y,z trans dials of the parented lights to 0.
Set Angle Start of the parent spot to 60, Angle End to 120. Choose a color. Use copy/paste to apply the settings to the parented spots.
Set Distance End to a reasonable value (how far will the light reach?) Set Distance Start to a very low value (say 0.01)
Set the x,y,z trans dials of the parented lights to 0.
First three parented spots: Set the yRot to 90, 180 and -90 degrees. Last two: set xRot to 90 and -90. Even better: parent all the spots to a MinFig, save the MinFig to the figure library, and edit the CR2 as mentioned in post #28.
