I am quite certain these two properties are the correct ones, unless they serve different purposes than expected.

The same two properties are already partially working for the `rectAreaLight`, though there are some issues with the color data. @srzerbetto is currently working on fixing this issue, as discussed here: [Specular issue for Rectangular Area Light](https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/specular-issue-for-rectangular-area-light/58706)

Please let me know if you need further explanations.
