Yes there is a difference - a point light is not the same as a spot light although can be interchangeable.
Is it all black background or is there something that you are illuminating ?
All black background then a circular fuzzy brush of suitable fuzzyness
The problem with the lighting effect plugin (apart from being ancient) is it works from the center of the image to the edge of the canvas. You can sometimes get round this by temporarily increasing the size of the canvas (well oversize) Image -> Canvas Size
Then apply the lighting effects and when satisfactory return the canvas to original size. Image -> Crop to content

If you give more details then probably some alternatives offered.
