What Peter Popov explained perfectly fit POV 3.1 but in POV 3.5,
cylindrical lights are no longer fake, they're real. They start from a
disc and form a uniform tube of light, much like a laser beam. As for
the radius and falloff keywords, I did a few tests and it turns out
that their behavior has changed since 3.1. There's no sense in
guessing, I'll have a look at the source when I have the time.
