Spread Value for Octane Area Lights

[philcoffman]

Awesome results! A few steps to setup though... are you able to control the spread this way or does it just create this scan line effect?

If I adjust the width of the OctaneLight then it starts to widen the spread because it widens the white line in the texture I'm using. It's okay, but not nearly as nice as Redshift's slider.

Has anyone a better option on how to control the spread of the area lights? I'm already using a gradient on the distribution of the light to remove hard edges on highlights.
