In Nathan Kopp's Megapov page, it is said that photons do not work properly
with cylinder lights (the light beam is not confined to the cylinder).
Apparently this limitation (which is not reported in the current docs) is
still in 3.5. Regular spotlights do not present this limitation but
unfortunately this is not the effect I was looking for :(
I still have alternative solutions to explore though.
