# omni

An omnidirectional light, also known as a point light.

## Declaration

```swift
static let omni: SCNLight.LightType
```

## Discussion

Discussion Because an omnidirectional light casts equal illumination in all directions, the orientation of the node containing the light has no effect. Spotlight angle and shadow attributes do not apply to directional lights.
