There are two ways to get the spotlight effect.

One is to apply fog to the entire room, or just a rectangular area below the light.

Another is to place a transparent beam around the light path itself, such as this:

This is done with the "Beam" light tab on the create light Wizard.

Both of these will take some trial renders on smaller models to get them right.
