Let's go with a no... interesting logic though.

The way that ZHLT works out brightness means that you can place a block in front of any lightsources that are getting to the room and it'll not be as bright.

You could make the walls darker, that should help. I think.

well no light = pitch dark , light with a very low lvl of brightness and a some darker colour ... + darker textures = a dark room right ?

ok i put a light up on the ceiling and cover with a light texture so it looking like a big lite on the ceiling. so i set the texture to a fun-wall so the light can go thru it. but when i turn off the light the texture stay lit up how can i make a texture so the light can pass thru but the light does not stick to the texture.

amm Alt + enter to open properties

give your light the name " light1 " or " Jason "

make a brush where you want your button to be
press Ctrl+T to make it an entity and select func_button
now in the func_buttons "target" area write in the lights name ( eg light 1 ) thats all
