I don't have a problem with using the ray-traced lights.  I'll use what ever gets the job done.  My curiosity comes from the fact that depth-mapped lights will cast shadows on one model but not on another.  I want to understand why that is the case.

 

I don't know the answer but I can tell you it's a well known shortcoming of DM lights.  In large scenes they often behave strangely.  Even if you hike up the Shadow Map to a ridiculous size you'll never have anything like accuracy with them.  

The only upside (if you can call it that) is they (usually) render faster than Ray Traced.  Great if you want to sacrifice quality for speed but I can't see the point myself.
