try setting a key/value of range/200 (or what ever you want)and color/ .5 .5 .5 (what ever you want - RGB)

That should do it.

I think the searchlight on is static isn't it maybe put a light entiy in front of it and set the angles of the light the same as the angles of the searchlight then press k on the keyboard and choose a color for the light . The global/searchlight.scr uses a dynamic light source for the spot the light hits the ground . If your light is static then you could also put a light entity near the ground at the spot you think the light would hit and give it a color and maybe angles and a radius as well . Look at your options in the entity window . When you give a light entity angles you will see a line comeing from the light at the angles you set .
