ok have had a play about with texturing but could not find a way to get the light to appear as if its from the bulb so that it lights the room.

I have also re-modeled the plug so that it is slightly more realistic.

I tried to put the light in situ, inside the bulb its self but could never get it to light the scene properly.

This is just a quick texture and render to show the model. (added in a previous project the glass just to fill it out).

if anyone can help me with a way to make it look like a lamp that is on that would be great!

cheers

NB can anyone tell me why the shadows are jagged? Is it one of the render settings?
