The Redshift Lights are only available if Redshift is activated as Renderer (see Cinema 4D Render Settings).

Redshift Light

What is it about?

This page describes the Redshift Light object in Cinema 4D, the all-purpose light for the Redshift renderer. One object models point, spot, IES, directional and various area lights — with physically based intensity and Redshift-specific sampling controls.

The Redshift light objects work the same as the Cinema 4D light objects, but have additional options for Redshift. The Redshift Light is an all-purpose light which can be used to model point, spot, IES and directional lights as well as area lights of various shapes.
