I'm currently using a directional light but it still bounces a little bit.

Also if you have some issues with 'bounced light' check your materials dont have any ambient on as this can wash out the shadows

As example you can make that one light affects one model out of 999.
>>>Window>Relationship editor>light linking>light -centric.
there you select light and in other side you can see underlined objects, click to de select, and light will be disabled for those from selected light.
