well i just use the lightign select it and hit the J key mess around with the X Y Z axis of the lighting til u get it right thats what i do .... be sure to use a bit of visportals for ur lvl if its big they will help with ur frames per second in the game

Another idea for alittle better control is draw out a brush, scale it and transform it into postion over your environment then right-click on it and go to light wich will turn the brush into a light box.

that is a good idea but ur forgetting about the light fall off it will have if its perfectly inside a brush only about 3/4 will have a bright light thoguh still a good idea u can always mess with it

yeah, it's the method I use alot for fiderly areas.

thanks all guys, i need some time to test, but i will back to comment my experience, and put some screens.
thanks!

ya i use that method sometimes to shape the light for that one specific room; it helps
