Did you have a light or a light_spot? The former shines in all directions, the latter shines in a specific direction, the one you want to use here.

im using "light" and for some reason the default direction is up and im not sure how to change that.
A light entity does that. You can't give it a direction, it emits light in a sphere. If you want light to cast in a specific direction, you need to use the light_spot entity.

It's not direction being up, it's you having the ceiling the closest surface to the light, so the most noticeable light spot is on it. Place the entity close enough to a wall or the floor and you'll get the same on them.
