Design an object that looks the way you want the light source to look,
and insert it into the light source as the content of the
"looks_like{...}" block.

The only caveat that I know of is in where to place the object. IIRC it
is auto-translated to the light source position, so you need to design
it as if the light source was at <0,0,0>. I /think/ that little detail
is indeed missing from the docs.
