env_lightglow is a point entity available in all 
Source games. It puts an additive glow in the world, mostly used over light sources and other locations where a glow would look natural (tunnels, caves, dark buildings, etc). It's main difference from env_sprite is it's ability to appear in a configurable distance.
Note:This entity does not have Enable/Disable inputs. Using the Color input with a parameter of 0 0 0 will hide it, as a workaround.Note:This file will be cached inside of saves, regardless of if the map has had the entity deleted in a new compile.Contents

- Color (R G B)
(rendercolor)<color255> - Glow color.
- Vertical Size
(VerticalGlowSize)<integer> - Vertical glow size in units.
- Horizontal Size
(HorizontalGlowSize)<integer> - Horizontal glow size in units.
- Minimum Distance
(MinDist)<integer> - The distance at which this effect will be fully translucent.
- Maximum Distance
(MaxDist)<integer> - The distance at which this effect will be at full intensity.
- Outer Maximum Distance
(OuterMaxDist)<integer> - If larger than the maximum distance, this is the length at which the glow will fade completely out, between the span of the maximum distance and this length.
- Glow Proxy Geometry Size (0-64)
(GlowProxySize)<float> - Size of the glow to be rendered for visibility testing. Any time a sphere of this radius would be visible (poking through any nearby geometry), the glow will be rendered.
- HDR color scale
(HDRColorScale)<float> - Color multiplier for players using HDR.
Inputs
Color<color255>- Change the render color of the glow. A value of 0 0 0 will hide the sprite.
