Black dots from spotlight in render

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere but I cant find an answer.  A friend of mine recommended using a sphere in the spotlight instead of the default point light.  It seems to soften the light a bit.  The problem is when I do this I end up with this in my render.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Do I have a setting wrong in my spotlight?

    That's your spotlight. It appears as a physical object in your scene, unless you do as Richard said.

    WOW!  I knew it was something simple.  Really appreciate the quick response.  I've been using Daz for about a year and even though I've been playing with lighting and getting better at it (you should see some of my early stuff.  It loolks like an '80s sitcom set.), I didn't use this because of that one silly issue.

    You guys are great!
