Hm...I'd use a plane with a partially transparent texture on it, but I can't exactly tell you how I'd go about making it.
Someone else?
Oh, a simple gradient (like light yellow to transparent) might do, too.

yah, if it's far enough away, you can get away with using a plane that's textured with a alpha gradient.
If closer you could try using cones like I did in Night Time Camp Bravo, and like Cyan used in Eder Kemo. But a actual light in Blender won't do it, sorry.
