Simulating flood lights in the layout screen

[Ebuechner]

I had some spare time and I'm tinkering with my layout for next year's show. I thought I would start with a clean slate and there used to be a sphere option that I used for the flood lights.  how would you simulate a flood light with the options we have now using 2016 .53?

I am making the brave foray into sequencing.  Installing the hardware on my house now and getting a feel for the software.
Think I have a good albeit basic knowledge thus far on the program but am lost on simulating the floodlights.
Is it possible that there could be a little more step by step info on this?  The post I read was partially greek to me and I am drawing a blank.
Thanks in advance!

Don't over think it.  A flood light is just a single pixel so use the SingleLine model and make it 1 node in size.  Then adjust the appearance parameters per that referenced post to make that single pixel look really big and transparent.
