About this image

Thinking out loud, you know.

What is this light behind Mr Ergalla (i disabled all visible lights and items around him)? Would these "Lights 300", "True Lighting and Blahblah" and other "The Lighting Mod"s fix this, or should I do CS magic myself?..

These mods have not so important other changes though.

Welp, I totally need to conjure my furious editor skills...

    If you want to know what any object is coming from, .esm or .esp, go into the console, click on the mysterious object, and type "ori". This will tell you what esp the object came from. If it is vanilla, it will be "Morrowind.esm" and most likely it's a bug.

    In case you can't click on the light, chances are there's a torch/lamp/something behind the wall. Go into the console, type "tcl" to toggle collision off, and go behind the wall and see if there's anything there.

    EDIT: Course you could just check through the CS on the item page and go through the lights until you hit the mysterious one. If you disabled all the lights, then there should only be one light. Double click on the item in the cell's item page to center the camera on that item.

    Hope this helps.

      I checked the cell with CS, these (three lights near respective tapestries) are "Flame Light" spheres from vanilla.

      Yea instead of placing candles all over the place, Bethesda likes to use the spheres to give the effect that the candles are lighting up the entire room, which is unrealistic but it usually works. Without them, interiors all over Vvardenfell would be hard to see in lol

      Anyways, glad you were able to solve the mystery.
