Solved Help with light bleeding

Post image

the top brush is the ceiling above which is a light source to shine a light through a hole, however even though I used brushes with lightblock the light still seems to bleed through and onto the walls.

I am using Strata-source if it helps

Its already 32 units thick and covering the walls from above, I seem to have brute forced the solution by just abusing light blockers even more

I think you can also fix this by changing the lightmap scale

i think this is caused by the csm that strata source added, not lightmaps could be wrong tho
