Hey all, Okay. Just in case I did check the scale of the bulb. That seems not to be causing the problem. I am using a patched version of C2.The problem seems to be coming form the lamp shade. It dosnt appear to be casting a shadow (cast shadow i checked). As you can see in this render. I pivoted the lamp shade around to see how the shadow would change. I did uncheck cast shadow on the lamp shade hanger parts. Ill keep at it. Cheers, Max
