The Media parameter for a Light Layer is very similar to the one from a normal Video Layer. Please refer to this chapter if you want to learn how to assign a media to a layer and what layer sharing means. As well you will find there the DMX Control chart.
At present, it is not possible to use transparency (α channel) as see-through parts, for this simply use white color.

The media for a Light Layer acts as a mask or gobo or even as a transparent image in front of a light. In case of choosing a video, it turns the light into a projector.

	The emitted light cone has the shape of a soft dot, the black parts are not visible.
	The emitted light cone has the shape of a star.
	Emitted light interacts with the object's color. The reflected light depends on both colors!

Contrary to a Video Layer, you can not assign a mesh to a Light Layer.
