Description

A SurfaceLight is a light source that emits illumination of a specified Light.Color and Light.Brightness from a SurfaceLight.Face for a specified SurfaceLight.Range.

In order for a SurfaceLight to provide illumination, it must be the direct child of a BasePart or Attachment (the part or attachment itself must be a descendant of the Workspace). If a SurfaceLight is parented to a part, then the light will emanate from the part's selected face(s). If parented to an attachment SurfaceLight is equivalent to a SpotLight.

For more light types, please see the see also section.
