The lights in the background have beam emitters under them - try searching “spotlight” or “light beam” in the toolbox

What you’ve going is amazing so far. To get local lights just insert a light into a brick.
Yeah, you can inset lights as objects. Simply:
Right click an object in explorer
Select “Insert Object”
Search “Light”
Then select one of the three light choices.
From there on out, just adjust the settings until you’re happy, and continue making more by duplicating the parent.
There’s a video on lighting, global and local, but:
He:
Skips over many essential features.
Doesn’t know what he’s doing most of the time.
Sometimes he doesn’t even know what certain settings do.
But for absolute basics, watch his video with a pinch of salt.
Skip to 9:11 to avoid getting a headache.
Good luck. Hopefully this helped you.

Thank you but that’s not what i’m looking for. I already know how to do that… What i meant is like a beam coming out as a light path. Not sure how it’s called

Sorry, what’s a light path? I’m sort of confused. If you want the obvious cone shape to be more obvious than it already is, then:
Make a cone mesh
Place it under the light
Make it slightly transparent
Turn CanCollide off
Does this help you? You can try to type it in French if it would help.

That gives an odd look to it, I believe he wants the fade/realistic type of one, the solution @xiayurei suggested will work the best in this case.
And if you need to:
I slightly understand beams in studio after just being told how useful they are and I’m wondering how to create ones similar to a ray of light from perhaps a lamp or bulb. I know how to make the beam itself, just wondering how to edit the properties of it if that’s what you do.

It would’ve helped me but I don’t really like that idea. Already tried and it looks awful ;/

There’s this post within the topic:
For those who want to know how: Create two bricks and connect attachments to each one. Select one of the parts or attachments and add a new beam. Next, choose the beam, open properties and select the attachments for the beam (Attachment0, Attachment1). Make sure attachment0 is where the beam starts and attachment1 is where the beam ends. Once you got the beam select the width (Width0, Width1) and edit them to create a cone shape. Once you’re done with that, add a texture in properties to make it look like realistic light!
Try that.
