I don't understand that. According to the manual and to my experiences,
"fade_distance" is the distance from the light source at which the light
keeps a constant intensity.. After this distance has been reached, intensity
decreases with the speed of "fade_power".. I can't see this doesn't relate
to ones measuring of distance..
