Dim Lights fail to produce light.

I do not have any add-ons that alter light functionality.

Rykuta:

After looking at the dim light code in question and comparing it to the default lights, I noticed only one difference.

--- Code: --- radius = 2;
brightness = 2;
--- End code ---
This is the Dim light's data. It produced no visible light in-game.

It appears the problem may be related to a potential lower bound for light emitted:

I changed the value to half of the default light's radius and brightness, and got a noticeable result.
I divided these numbers by two once again, and got a smaller light, but a light none the less.

Badspot should explain this result to me, or someone with similar knowledge.

Badspot:

Under shaders, the "radius" field of the light datablock is actually used.  You will need to adjust it.
