Attenuation properties are not on the light itself but can be added using the lightfilterlibrary node and assigned to a specific light.
Other options include barndoor, gel, gobo and projection.


Attenuation is assigned to the specific light.


There are multiple options for what type of attenuation. If using a ramp/half distance you could also consider setting the active radius on the light to an end value to reduce light calculation.
