Looks ok to me (except that the "original" light should cover the entire
height of the image's left side, but I'm pretty sure that's an entirely
different problem). Where the light streams past the block at the upper
edge of the image it's totally normal that we get bright white light.

I think it might well be worth toying around with the spotlight some more.
