    So I have a panel which gets spot lighted when selected. I am trying to prevent my spot light from spilling over onto other panels. I am sure I have to do this programmatically. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Christopher

    It might be an overkill, but you could try to move them on a different layer...

    You know what, that is a really simple way to solve that issue! Thanks!

    For those newbs like me:
    Solution - Set the culling mask of the light to the same layer of the selected object! DONE!
