 ===== AreaLight =====
-tbd
+An area light can be created using a parallelogram as base and transforming it to a light source. It will cast a diffuse distribution in the positive direction of the local z-axis of the parallelogram. Note, as for now, it does not (yet) support user defined physical light distribution.
+<code java>
+module AreaLamp extends Parallelogram() {
+  {
+    setLight(new AreaLight().(setPower(100)));
+    setLength(1); // 1m
+    setAxis(0.5f, 0, 0);
+  }
+}
