Light view

It sure would be great to have the ability to see what the light sees (like how spotlights have a Light View in LightWave 3D). Super simple and useful way to line up lights in a scene.

Select the light and press Ctrl+Numpad 0. Afterwards, don't forget to set your scene's camera to the actual camera, since it'll render from the light.

You can do this for any object, not just lights.

What about Set Active Object as Camera? It already allows you to use any object as camera, including lights: imgur.com/a/bst6ToR

This sounds great! Would it just be a setting in "View > Align view to light" or something along those lines? You could also have "View > Align light to view"
