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:
(See: http://www.renderplus.com/wk/Visible_Light_Paths_w.htm)
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.
