Hi guys,

i try to achieve sharp edges with the area light but i can't figure it out.
I always got soft edges. Blown out in the middle and fade out into soft corners.
I need an evenly illuminated light like if you project an (for example) green rectangle
onto a flat plane. That's what i'm looking for.
Please help. Any comments are welcome.

Thanks in advance

Do you mean sharp edge shadows? For that just make the light very small and bump up the power. Hope that helps.

cheers,

Hi kerryoo ,

thanks for your feedback. I don't want sharp shadows. I meant sharp light "edges".
I'm going to upload a picture for more clarity,

Cheers
