obstacle disappears, why?

I sure some one has asked this question before, maybe referring to a machine or scenery, and I know the answer then was to turn up the bounding radius.
I added those Zanzibar lights to my map and they work but only 1 thing isn't working right. I would like for the light to be visible at all times from every where, but the light at times disappears and the light goes out, but the hanging lamp itself doesn't disappear.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I think it has to do with the ligh tag.

sometimes on mods, when there is so much stuff, the stuff starts dissapearing, like in my unreleased grunt ai mod, i had a shadow ramming into a million of them, and i just dissapeared annoyingly

Yeah, that just happens when you try to run a bunch of people over (AI or not). It is annoying.

well i first had 20 lights..... they would never disappear but the *ligh* coming out of the bloc did. so i reduced to 2.......... same thing happened. but on zanzibar those haggin lights stay on and in ivory tower they stay on too. i wouldn't have asked if it was the same in all maps but in zanzibar and ivory tower the lights stay on all the time and now that I add the lights to collosus the *ligh* disappears not the bloc.

Must be the LOD on the lights bitmap image. It happens so that when you are so-so far away or not looking at it, it will not render the image (make the image disappear) for performance reasons. Not familar with LOD's on Halo.
EDIT: They disappear on zanzi and ivory tower,. Trust me. You just don't see it. Nor will you probably ever.

it isn't the LOD, I used the LOD tool and the light of the lamp still fades
I thought it would be in the light tab bu I've messed with all those values
