Is it worth having this on for light entities? and more importantly, does it affect the number of generated shaders for styled lights?

The spawnflag? What checkbox is it?

GTKRadiant 1.4, game JA, light entity, there is the following comment:
‘noIncidence’ checkbox makes lighting smoother

Yes the spawnflag.

So no one knows basically.

Well, I think this affects only the lighting, but not the count of lightstyles.
If you absolutely want to know, make a small test map and render it with and without that flag being set, and compare the logfile and in game :rolleyes:

The spawnflag disables angle attenuation. It will not affect styled light any differently than normal light. Also, JA has native lightstyle support so no custom shaders will be generated.

Thats good to know, thanks.
