Light Options in Blender Render
In Blender Render, if you go to the Lamp tab in the Properties Editor (the yellow star icon that appears when you have a lamp selected), you’ll find options such as Color and Energy (Intensity). You can select the type of light as well. Also, in the Shadow panel, you can deactivate the shadows or control how they look: the Soft Size parameter makes the shadow softer, but you may need to increase the Samples to make it look better. Usually, around 7 is adequate, but go higher if you need more quality; fewer samples result in a noisy shadow. Keep in mind that adding more samples will increase render time.
