What you are trying to do can be done with Vue Pro, or if you can't get that version, that effect will be possible with the upcoming LightTune plugin for Vue 5. That function allows you to cast a light to a single object and leave the rest of the scene untouched (among other things). 'Linear' versus 'quadratic' refers to the rate of decay of a light source. Linear means that the intensity of the light decreases in a way that is proportional to the distance to the source. Quadratic means that the decays is related to the square of the distance to the source (in practice, quadratic lights are more intense close to the source but decay very quickly away from it).
