Kendras experimented with the sector lights, so I cannot enter in the details. I think he tried blocking the light by using some barriers (though I don't think they were invisible: how can an invisible object block the light? ), but the result wasn't satisfactory.

I had another approach in mind though: my (untested) idea was creating a 3D world-aligned particle shaped as a narrow light cone. In theory we should see a dim light beam when looking at the light from the "dark" angles, and a glaring halo when looking at it from the "illuminated" angles. At least this is how I imagine leading lights; sector lights with colored sectors may look different than I described above.
