Could still use a little work on the small stuff:

-welders need to go in between every 2 walls in the cellar base set. there will be a real nasty seam between the walls otherwise.
-your coloring for the lights looks good. the pitch-black corners.. eh, not so much. use a box light with very dark (low #) values, like (0.05, 0.035, 0.02, 1). It will help blend the colors together better and get rid of those unusually dark corners.
-the wall with those boards on it (right hand side of the screen) doesn't really fit with the default walls. either use the different types of boarded up walls, or just the defaults+its variants.
-finally, the tiling on the floor seems really small. select the plane, go to the tiling tab (tab on the far right, can't remember it's name exactly) and set the x and z values to decimals lower than 1. Numbers like 0.25 to 0.5 are a great value for the wood floors.

oh, and there's an easy trick to get doors to work with almost any doorway (almost). Make sure snap to coordinate grid is toggled on, line up the door with the doorway, then add 0.1 to the y position value. (e.g. if the door was at a y position of 4, make it 4.1).

Also, you should set alpha to 0 in most cases for lighting. it improves performance and makes very little difference in game.

Intensity is the [A] in Diffuse Color, right?
And why it's very hard to push the doors?!

Spoiler below!

Good?

[A] is alpha. On point lights, it makes things shiny. It also makes maps lag. Haven't found out what else it does yet other than be incredibly annoying.
Intensity is the brightness. For example:
R: 1\
G: 1 |- Full intensity white (100% of each colour)
B: 1/

R: 0.5\
G: 0.5 |- 50% intensity white (half the values from previous numbers
B: 0.5/
A similar effect would be if you have a dimmer switch in your house. When it's all the way on, it has a high intensity. When it's closer to off, it has a lower intensity (it looks dimmer, but it's still the same colour and it's still on).

Doors - you might have them stuck inside the frames a bit. Check if they're clipping through the door frames in your map (turn snap-grid off).

Just make sure it's not gonna shine through into surrounding rooms / hallways. Pointlights have a rather annoying tendency to show their reflection on floors, through walls

Pics:

Far left : Example of light coming through a window and casting a shadow.
No Alpha.
So far, colors blend well, looks pretty good.
Got some welders put in, too. Nice decoration. Flies over a carcass. (Also some Fungi to simulate a decomposing wall.)

Colors also blend well. No Alpha, a bright room lit with torches.

View of Pic 2 from the stairs. Sorry for the Huge beam up there....
Colors also blend.

What you think?
