Neg lamps on water? Options

[Dudeinabox]

I downloaded a few maps form here featuring water and I noticed that you've placed immune negative lightposts on them, is there any reason for this? I'm not even sure what a negative light post does to be honest.

Hmm well Negative light posts take away from the map lighting in that area. Thus a normal Negative light posts makes that area darker. So placing a negative light post in the water will make the water area slightly darker and make the area stand out more. The reason its immune is probably because if the lamp gets destroyed then the lighting returns to normal. So in the middle of battle say you by chance destroy one and the lighting changes for good that would look kinda weird. So some people make ALL their invisible light posts immune so they don't get destroyed and cause a sudden change in the lighting.
