The standard light is 200 radius, is there any way to change the values and get a cone shaped spot light. I modeled stadium lighting but can't get the light to look right with just a radius.

If someone knows that this is NOT possible pls post also.

Select the light and hit "n" on your keyboard to bring up the entity settings. Scroll through the settings in the box towards the bottom and you will see the key for the radius. Just click that and change the number in the "value" box to what ever you want.

yes, I'm aware of that, thank you for your reply though. What I want to do is change the shape of the light. More like a beam of light or a narrow, long cone of light from a spotlight

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I haven't done much research into it, but maybe take a look at "godrays"? It's a bit of a stretch, but may work for you.

Hopefully someone with a more experience will drop by. I know there used to be a way to change it from a radius to a directional beam. Maybe take a look at the worldspawn settings and add in the directional key to your light source?

There has been another topic about this, don't remember the title tho. And I remember it was possible, but I don't know how. Try the search function to find that other topic

Here ya go, I think this tutorial may have the info you seek:
