Bill:
The below from the Tech Doc might be what you are looking for.CyndiAzimuth(min centre max) This specifies the heading (rotation about the Y-axis) of glow lights – in the simplest case min, centre and max can all be set to the same angle (in degrees). For more complex situations where you want to define the arc of the light you can specify for example -45, 0 and 45 degrees respectively to produce a light with a 90 degree arc. Essentially glow lights attempt to always face the camera but are limited by the azimuth and elevation settings. The best way to see what the values do is to experiment - set up a light with a set of values and then move the camera around it to see what happens.
