Posting here (I use v.3 but I guess it's got the same rendering method):
I need to create this spot light:

Can't seem to figure out how to create an emiter that will deliver a light "pattern". all emiters create a blurry light at a distance more than few cm...help me please !

It's pretty well explained here, especially the Image projection settings:

To control the blurriness of the projected image, lower the Blur parameter.

If you need visible rays in the air, you need to use volumetric extension object with fairly low field density.
