Actually it's a simple spotlight with an added area_light statement:

=======================================================
//lamp number: 3 spot_light
#declare Lamp_003 = light_source{
                        0*x
                        color rgb<1.0, 1.0, 1.0>*3.0
                        spotlight
                        point_at <0,0,-1>
                        radius  50
                        tightness  0.075
                        falloff  30.7113438
                        fade_distance 55.0
                        fade_power 1
                        area_light <0,1,0>, <0,0,1>, 5, 5
                }
=======================================================
