Wierd light penetration, how to fix it?

[Kman]

For that candle, there's a no light version of the model, which essentially means it's the model without a pointlight attached to it. If you use that, you'll have to create the lighting by yourself, but you'll have full control of it (including making sure it doesn't go under the table). Though for other light models you'll have to be more crafty, as most of them don't have a no light version, and I can guarantee you going in and editing ever single one will not only be a major pain in the ass but it also won't do a whole lot to benefit your maps.
