The other two types of light available in Unity are
Point Light
and
Spot Light
. Even we are not
going to use them in the current scene, it is a good idea to know how they work. Point light
emits light equally in all directions, just like an ordinary electric light bulb. Spot light, on the
other hand, emits beams in one direction, forming a spot of light on the surface of the target.
You can think of search lights and car lights as examples of spot light. Illustration 10 shows
examples of point and spot light. Each one of these lights has its unique properties that you
may discover yourself.
