Adjusting the range of Area Light
It's weird to see that there are only two to three questions/threads regarding the area light.
Anyways everything is working fine except for the distance. the problem is that no matter how high or wide is the plane, it always emits beyond your desired range!
I can just go through it with the bake selection but then I'd lose the gradient effect.
the question is that how would I adjust the range ?!!!!

Ok this will sound silly but I had to do a lot of googling before finding a solution
change your area light to spotlight -> adjust the range of the spotlight -> change back to area
The range option seems to not have been included in the interface but the variable is used and carries over from the spotlight range.
sorry this is an old question but took way to long to find a decent answer.
