+
+   ..attribute:: shadowBindId
+
+      The OpenGL shadow texture bind number/id.
+
+      :type: int (read only)
+
+   ..attribute:: shadowMapType
+
+      The shadow shadow map type (0 -> Simple; 1 -> Variance)
+

+
+   ..attribute:: shadowBias
+
+      The shadow buffer sampling bias.

+   ..attribute:: shadowBleedBias
+
+      The bias for reducing light-bleed on variance shadow maps.

+
+   ..attribute:: useShadow
+
+      Returns True if the light has Shadow option activated, else returns False.

+   .. attribute:: shadowColor
+
+      The color of this light shadows. Black = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0), White = (1.0, 1.0, 1.0).

+   .. attribute:: shadowMatrix
+
+      Matrix that converts a vector in camera space to shadow buffer depth space.
+
+      Computed as:
+          mat4_perspective_to_depth * mat4_lamp_to_perspective * mat4_world_to_lamp * mat4_cam_to_world.
+
+      mat4_perspective_to_depth is a fixed matrix defined as follow:

    .. attribute:: distance
 
       The maximum distance this light can illuminate. (SPOT and NORMAL lights only).
