You could and still can change the Light Grips by modifying their Scale in Edit menu > Transform > Transform Properties. However in Showcase 2013 you can change both the Light and Decal Grip sizes much easier, go to File menu > Settings > User Settings.
Simply grab the slider to adjust the size of either the Light and/or Decal Grips.
