Yes, this manual description is correct. However I suggest that you read the much more detailed description of entity lighting in the 'Lighting Engine' chapter of the new manual. It's for download on the manual forum. Of course, the lighting formula is for A6. If you're using A5 or A5 mode, you can not do much about the lighting.

I'm moving this thread now as it becomes unsuited for the 'Ask Conitec' forum.
