When you get this error in your log, it means that somewhere you entered a wrong value for a light.

Examples:

"unknown light specifier type - 236 156 85 236 156 851000"

This means in the properties, you entered: "236 156 85 236 156 851000" which isn't a valid entry. This needs to be four numbers at all times, so this will fix it: "236 156 85 1000" The first three values are the RGB values and the last number is for the intensity of the light.

Note:The best way to fix this is to hide the entire level except for the lights and use cordon to pinpoint to the faulty location of the light.
