+This is how much light is provided within it's radius. Typically this is +100% though some light sources only glow softly. If an M is listed, this means this light also penetrates magical darkness - almost always, this is a Magical Light.
 Only the most powerful Light Source is used - if 5 people carry torches, this does not mean that Light at x5 distance is now +100%.

		+	The Width of the Cone is equal at 1/2 the Radius of the Light Source if the Range of the Light Source is equal to double the Radius of the Light Source. For every multiple of Radius you increase the Range by, half the Radius. If you wish to only increase Range by 1/2 Radius, the Cone of Light's Width is equal to 3/4 Radius.

		+	For example, a Lantern has a Light Radius of 30 feet. A Bullseye Lantern narrows that into a cone that is 15 feet wide at the end and doubles the effective range to 60 feet. If the cone of light were further narrowed, to about 2 feet, the light's effective Range would be equal to 150 feet feet.

 This radius is taken from the character with the Light Source. Thus, anything that can perceive that light, can gain the benefits of it within that radius. For example, a character within 15 feet of a character holding a torch acts as though Light were 100% and suffers no penalties on their attacks. Meanwhile, an archer intending to attack that character is able to perceive them in the distance and attack without penalties from low Light.
