is there a way to have a parallel light that is not connected to the physical sun stuff?

I am trying to just have a parallel light, position it and choose its color... most importantly be able to rotate it without it "turning off" when it is aimed below the horizon.

The daylight system will always try to respect physically correct conditions. One way I can think of is using an HDRI map which can then be freely rotated or using an area light with small radius, placed reasonably away from the object. Hope this helps.
