The light only turns off when the player is facing the pan direction I indicated above - Otherwise it deactivates when the player is a little in front of it.
Sorry - The light Turns off if the players pan is between 270 - 310 and if he is not facing the floortorch. Otherwise its not as noticeable.

I would love to send you a compiled version, but it seems that when I compile with or without a resource file I get an error: 88760b59 and the lighters light does not get created.

Nor does any light for that matter.
