  How about instead of it being a parameter related to fading lights, it's
simply a parameter related to lights in general: Set a maximum distance for
the light source to have effect. If a point is farther away than that
distance, ignore that light source.

  Maybe if a value is omitted, an automatically computed value is then used
if the light is a fading light.
