In Poser 6 there are spot, infinite, point and IBL. PoseRay can read all 
except IBL. I just checked it and it works. If "global" is infinite then 
make sure that the lights are not coming from below and the ground is 
covering them. If you still have problems you can email me an empty 
poser file with the lights only and I could test it. Maybe there is a 
bug with some types of lights or maybe is the German version since I 
only tested with the US version. My email is on the bottom left of 
PoseRay's window.
