This entity is not present in the FGD, but is in the code. Despite its obsolete icon, this entity is used in the very beginning of HL2 (in the ''d1_trainstation_01'' map) inside the train car Gordon arrives in (where the zoom occurs, before he is teleported to the second, moving, train car).
This entity is used in ''d1_trainstation_01'', inside the train car [[Dr. Gordon Freeman|Gordon]] encounters [[G-Man]].
 
The function and use of this entity is so far unknown, but a good guess would be that this entity applies static lighting to dynamic objects, improving performance (as this lighting might not count as dynamic lighting despite being inside a moving entity) and/or to avoid lighting fluctuations caused by movement. The info_lighting_relative is placed inside a static environment, and linked via the ''LightingLandmark'' keyvalue to an [[info_target]] entity inside an (preferably identical) moving environment where the lighting will be applied.
 
Another guess would be that it simply uses the lighting from one place, and applies it to another.
