Hi george ferguson, you recently wrote in moray.win:

Apart from what everyone else has been saying there is also a
historical reason in that lights (or was it cameras?) were not allowed
in unions in an earlier POV-Ray version. Moray used to extract the
lights and cameras (calculate the final matrix according to where in
the hierarchy it was) and export it as a top-level object. It doesn't
do that anymore.
