Is there a setting somewhere that will make the preview outlines of lights more visible when visible?
I think I'm going to go blind looking for these things. The spots are pretty easy to "spot" hehe, but the tiny indirect outline of a circle in a circle almost disappear at certain angles.
Thanks!

You can scale them up. Scaling them does not change their light properties, it only changes the light preview.

Go to "Render Settings -> Preview Mode." There is an option to choose the "Silhouette Outline Width" for silhouette and wire-frame outlines on those sorts of rendered objects. I think that will do the trick for you, since that's all the light/camera bodies are.

O-M-G that worked perfectly. Thank you so much.

You're welcome!

They are drawn in the "foreground" color, so you could easily change that as well. (It's the leftmost dot at the bottom-right of the display window.)
