I'm amazed this engine doesnt have either of these yet it has advanced features! We need the basics too!

I'd still like them to be in the main branch

Directional lights = big help to performance
spot lights = big DRAIN on performance

.. though both are "simple" to implement in D3D for instance, I wouldn't want to rely on spot lights in a real game with much going on - they are the slowest of the 3 types (Directional being the fastest).
