If you REALLY want to stop the "double brightness" effect of lights passing through each other, here's one way. 

Create your two spotlights with feathered masks on white solids, motion sketch their movements, make sure everything is just the way you want it.  Precompose the two solid layers, then change the precomp layer to Add/Screen/Colour Dodge etc, whatever your preference.  By combining the two lights before you apply it to your "surface" layer, you won't get additive blending happening between the two "lights".
