I've had the same problem. Its simple. Have your light selected, make sure you are on the Lighting tab. There on the side bar is the deal you use to change it.

The controls you are looking for are the spotlight cone angle and the soft edge angle. The first controls the absolute radius of the cone and the second adjusts the fade out from max to zero illumination.
