Apply a gradient / fall of on Area lights

Hello,
I'd like to add gradient to those 2 blue area lights on the bottle. I'm using the last version of Redshift.
  1. I added a RS Texture to the blue color of the Area light
  2. I uploaded a simple gradient HDRi but impossible to have a fade
  3. I tried wih a Fall off Map attached to the color but it's the same. Colors are strong and no fade with the gradient hdri
Maybe I'm doing something wrong or missing a step, but do you have an idea to apply a gradient on those area lights? Thank you!

I added a gradient to the lights color yesterday but I've just found why it didn't work. I thought about rotating the gradient texture. I put UV Rotate on 90 and put the Color Offset to black then it worked. Spent 2 hours looking for this simple step. Sheesh!
