Searched and didn't find anything on these. If there exists a post, please link me. If not, please answer:
1. Have a corona and it is shining through a wall in an adjacent room. Is there a method/clip to solving this?
2. What is overbright_range and how does a setting of 20 differ from 100?

1. No, a corona is an entity. You can delete parts of the entity
2. Not sure.

I think the "overbright" is the central bright sphere of a light entity. For the corona you can scale it down in its entity properties.

Not sure how I would, if u could please tell...
What I was getting at with the overbright_range was that I thought that was the radius of the light. I have a larger room with a lightswitch and the corona doesn't give off enough light for the room. I don't have a light entity cause I have no idea how to turn it on or off with my switch (trigger_use - switch - dummy.tik - corona_reg.tik).

Read this thread on how to make a dynamic light turn off and on using a lightswitch. Its not the best lighting solution but it may accomplish what you need.

That part is all sorted out, but I need more of a radius for the light.

Normally, you can set the size of a light entity with Key/Value, light/100. That would make it 1/3 the size of a normal light because the default size is 300. If you want the light to be bigger than normal, you would use a value higher than 300.

Hard for me to explain, but maybe I will get some ideas from people after some testing (which won't be for a while, but as soon as I can).

Ooops sorry that was a typo, should read, you CAN'T delete parts of the entity. Sorry
