The diffrence between global and Object/Light is large, so I've done seprate 
objects.

The thing I'm trying to do is the diffrence between Objects and Light. Objects 
have six settings. Lights have three. Two of these settings are shared. So 
I'm trying to so both in the same object.

The problem I'm having is whether I can create diffrent settings within the 
same object. I'm not having much luck. Its works at serialize, but on 
creation and moving of the objects, the object doesn't seem to have a parent 
I can use. So whenever I add an object its always selecting the object setup 
( I'm looking for light to make the switch.) I think what I'm trying to do is 
impossible. Pasting and Moving also seem to presenting similar problems, as 
there doesn't appear to be a way of letting the object know its been moved, 
so it can check its parent.

But I think it would be messy to have three photon objects. So maybe I should 
put the photon light settings in the Light object? I'm a bit stuck on what to 
do.
