Spotlight not showing in rendering only editor?

For some reason I’m having an issue where my spotlights don’t appear in game, only in the editor? I’ve had this issue before in past projects and just ignored it, but for this project I’d really like to be able to use one :sob:

I’m not sure if there’s any settings I need to change in order for it to show..?

Assuming your rendering settings/etc. are correct, since you’re working with a 2D environment, maybe confirm that the lights are not behind your background. Find the Y (transform) of your wall and ensure that the light in something less (or more if appropriate).
