Which description best defines a Free Spotlight?

• A. This describes a Free Spotlight
• B. This describes a Target Spotlight
• C. This describes a Directional Light with movable target
• D. This describes a Point Light

Answer: (A)

A Free Spotlight is a spotlight that has no target to aim at, so you control its direction by rotating the light itself rather than dragging a separate target. This makes it flexible for quick lighting where you don’t need a fixed point to look at—the beam direction is defined purely by the light’s orientation. You can usually tell a Free Spotlight apart from a Target Spotlight because there’s no target helper to move. The Target Spotlight uses a separate target object to steer where the light points; if you move that target, the beam follows. A directional light with a movable target (often called a Target Direct type) is similar in that it uses a target to define direction, but it behaves like a directional source rather than projecting a cone with falloff like a spotlight. A Point Light, on the other hand, emits light in all directions from a single point, with no cone or target to steer toward. So the correct description fits a spotlight that operates without a target, oriented by the light itself.
