As was discussed earlier, the falloff distance is with respect to the exact position of the light. Therefore, to have any kind falloff, the light has to have a position.
Which means, what? Stop reading this, right here, and think about light types. Which ones have position and which don't?
You cannot use this with infinite or IBL lights. These have no exact position. Only point lights and spot lights can do this.
If you first select the correct type of light, you will be able to select the falloff behavior.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
