Icons for Free Linear light with diffuse and web distribution
Diffuse Distribution (Photometric Lights)
Web Distribution (Photometric Lights)
Name and Color Rollout (Lights)
To create a Free Linear light:

Choose Photometric from the drop-down list. (Standard is the default.)
In the Object Type rollout, click Free Linear.
Click the viewport location where you want the light to be.
The light is now part of the scene. It points away from you in the viewport you clicked.
Set the creation parameters.
You can position the light and adjust its direction with the transform tools. You can also adjust the light's position with the Place Highlights command.
