Actually, it wasn't addressed at all. Because there are ways to duplicate every Firefly light in Superfly

You can do Firefly style point lights in basically any render engine, including Superfly.

The difference, is that you don't use a light to do so in Superfly. 

There are some issues with lights in Superfly compared to Cycles, because it is missing a node from cycles.

But fear not, there is a way around it. Actually, multiple ways around it.

Here, I am using a ball prop scaled down to 10%. Which is very close to the size of the Poser point light. It is just out of the scene to the right, not that far from the figures face.

Poof, point light just like in Firefly that cuts off exactly at the distance you set it too..

Yes you need to change some things to get the different falloffs.

This is Monte Carlo style lighting, in Superfly. And it obviously can be done even thou other lights follow PBR..

Everyone using Superfly should learn the LightPath node........
