Sample light layouts attached.

[trueBlue]

See if you like this Spot light.

Looks good to me. Only thing is the light is deselected after pressing Spotlight View. If it's still selected you have the option of using the object movement tools to position and rotate the light while looking through it and you can change the cone angle too.

Unfortunately, that is needed to hide the Spot widget.

I don't see the widget in the view.

I don't see the widget in the view.

Because it gets unselected if the selection is a light
Actually, when viewing from the Spot, it's widget is a Camera.
So you use the Camera tools or View widget to transform the Spot when viewing from it
I do not know any other way to do this, so if you have a better solution, I am all for it.
Another issue is, if you do not RClick the View from Spotlight, the Camera is not disconnected
And if that is the case, you lose the Spot widget

I should have been clear, I meant to say I don't see the widget after switching to the light view and then selecting the light.
I'll do some tests to try to see what you're saying. I'm thinking maybe a camera should be created on the fly and parented to the spotlight and then unparent and remove the camera when complete, or even leave the relationship in place.
