Maybe it was the adaptive needing to be 1 or more (?)
If orient, or another untamed feature, had been used then I'd have suspected that to
be potential trouble.  It
almost looks like the table edges are faulty but that's probably not the case.  Unless
of course there is any
coincident surfaces there.  If not, that leaves the area light.  Hm, just had a
thought.  Is the area light
fully within the bounds of the cutout in the ceiling, or does it reach beyond any?
