Alternative visiable lights

I work at an events company so we a lot with light instruments.
Although visible lights from lighting fixtures are not as realistic as we might think they are, they do make renderings pretty.

I was wondering if anyone had any thought on how to easily build visible show lighting into renderings?
Our turn-around time is usually less then a day so we build a lot of our objects using expresso.
i know I could bring it into after effects but we really just don't have that kind of time.
I'm looking for something I can pre-build and drop in. Attached are some examples "pre" octane.

It would be really nice to have the ability to control the spread and the fall off of the light... I guess kinda like the C4D Spot Light.
Any ideas would help, thanks.

This is great help everyone, thank you... I really like that plug-in too I think that might be the way to go about this.
