Lighting in scenes

Hi

When I download some scenes the scene lighting doesn't look good when adding person atoms so I have to add invisible light to the scene however I can't figure out how the light falls on the atom (I have to tweak the light source until I get it right)
Is there a way to make the light rays appear as a line to show the direction in which the light hit the object?
Thanks
 
On gizmo there is "longer" & "shorter" indicator on white "cube/camera" looking thingy (idk what is called). ?

It would be cool if there is sometype of plugin to clearly indicate facing/direction of an atom (not only for spot/directional lights),
like extended Z line or something, so you can see it easily (especially when you have tons of atoms inside a scene). :unsure:

maybe the blender plugin. I never tried it but in the photos seemed to have something like that
Yes, it has "sort of" option, but it extends all "lines" :confused:

I gave it like 10min try (i was mostly interested in quick atom add/copy).
Sadly controls(keybinds) are all over the place (partially thx to VaM limits/already occupied keys).

It definitely requires some "getting used to", has potential, once you nail down (remember) all controls.
