    I have to say that I don't like this. I really feel that the light sources themselves should not cast shadows.

    ...except for braziers, which I think look appropriate. Other light sources, no.

    the problem with the chandelier is it's treating it as one light source even though it has 6? 8? candles. if they were individual they'd be canceling each other out so there wouldn't be a shadow.

    I understand the performance issues with having eight light sources in a chandelier. It's better to just not have it cast shadows itself. I'm also not happy with other light sources casting shadows of themselves, like wall torches, wall lamps, street lamps, etc.
