If i have get it right, the lights in a scene "fades" the more far the
light is from the light-source, right?

Pretend i make a cylindrical light, how do i make it so the light is
constant all over the scene, from that light?

Real world light fades, POV-Ray lights do not fade with distance unless
you tell them to.  If you do not use the "fade_distance", "fade_power"
or "atmospheric_attenuation" keywords in your light definition, they
will not fade with distance.  If you *want* fading, use them as needed.

As I said, the light will not fade with distance unless you tell it to.
If you want the edges of the cylinder (or cone for a spotlight) not to
fade, in your light definition make "falloff" equal to "radius" and set
"tightness" to 0.  Your cylinder (or cone) will then have sharp edges.
Good luck.
