It’s not an issue. Spotlights need an intermediate lightgizmo, like you did, but instead of attaching the gizmomanager to the light, attach it to the lightgizmo:

I add a positionGizmo to light node,it will change the light rotation too.I saw the gizmo code,i don’t understand the _tempQuaternion(0, 0, 0, 1).And then set the attachedNode rotation by it,it seems that will always set attachedNode rotation = (0, 0, 1).
example is v4.2.0.Changing to lastest version,it’s different.

Indeed! Let me take a closer look.

My description has some errors,spotLight is setting direction.
I think that it may caused by rotationQuaternion,because spotLight has not this parameter.
