Spotlight - what setting to make viewable?

[flashawd]

Hi - I have a light set as a klieg and I want it to be an obvious spotlight where you can see the light rays coming down and only the light - almost so the character would have to stick his hand in to see him in the surrounding darkness - is there a setting for that, I have been turning everything off and on in the lights setting, but no luck. If there isn't a setting - any ideas to get this effect would be great. Thanks - Eric

I turned off Keylight - turned down Fill light to 20% (maybe less, can't remember), and mostly used the Rim light to create the spot leight effect (change color, intensity to 85%, and change the influence cone size)

 

Hope this helps

Ah, thank you both - the volumetric setting is exactly what I was looking for.
