You could try adding no_shadow to the shade, then give the shade some amient
value to make it look like it's glowing from the inside, but that won't make a
defined shadow against the wall, so make a slightly smaller version that is grey
with high transmit value (but not 1) to create the shadow effect.

Just a guess at a workaround
