I think there is a problem with the /dim/ lanterns then. The scene seems 
to be lighted by quite strong projector lights, especially from the 
right hand side, casting marked shadows across the garden. If only the 
lanterns are the exterior lighting, then the scene should be much darker 
imo. Maybe fade_distance and/or fade_power should be adjusted besides 
the strength of the lights?

Ah! I am relieved. I thought so too.
