info_hang_lighting is a point entity available in Left 4 Dead series. It's automatically created when player hangs from ledge and it's set as their lighting origin.

Note:Special property of entity having this classname is that when CTerrorPlayer's ResetLightingOrigin method is called it checks if their current lighting origin entity's classname is info_hang_lighting and then removes it

Bug:If player's SetLightingOrigin input is used during hanging the info_hang_lighting is not removed  [todo tested in?]

Bug:Going idle or taking over a character while hanging removes info_hang_lighting which results in situation shown in third example  [todo tested in?]
