Poser doesn't support that type of lighting in Superfly directly, like Blender does.

Parametric and normal light projection doesn't work the same way between Poser and Blender, not in the slightest actually... I have asked about that in the past.....

I have tried to figure out how to do light projection in Superfly and basically gave up on using a light to do so, Poser lights just don't support it.

There is a way that you can fake it, with varying success. Use a plane as the projection, that limits how far the light travels. Basically an emitter you can't see from a distance. The closer the plane is to the object, the better the light casts. Ray control is still an issue, simply because normal and parametric apply to light different in Poser.

Explanations on how to make emitters you can only see the projected light from a distance, and not the source, can be found here.

Read on for a page or two for more info on that.
