## Syntax

```lua
bool setLightRadius(light light, float radius)
```

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `light` | `light` | The light. |
| `radius` | `float` | Range in metres, above 0 and up to 1000. |

## Returns

`true` if it changed. With a wrong argument it logs a warning and returns `false`.

If a spot light's source radius ends up larger than the new range, it is reduced to the range.

## Example

```lua
local light = createPointLight(2495.1, -1687.4, 14.5, 5)
setLightRadius(light, 25)
```
