Instancing lights
IS there any short simple way of instancing point or spot lights in a way that ANY OR ALL the parameters change, when I change them in any light (as they are instances).
For eg. I can change intensity, color and cone angles of all spot lights at one time. This would be very helpful in creating/ using lightrigs.
Hope my query is clear.
Thanks in advance.

Have a look at connectAttr, getAttr and expressions and see what you can come up with.
