# Special Lit

Special Lit adds another layer of lighting used to isolate lighting to specific surfaces. Surfaces that have the Special Lit flag set only receive lighting from lights that have bSpecialLit set to true. Another way to think of it is Special Lit Lights only affect Special Lit surfaces.

- A surface's Special lit is found in the Surface Properties Window, in the Flags tab. See Surface Flags (UT) for a full description of all the flags here.
- A Light (UT) actor's Special Lit is the Lighting → bSpecialLit property: set this to True. See Actor Overview for more on how to do this.

It can make engines or control rooms make look better, surfaces brighter than its surrounding, or saturated color on surfaces. It can be used in any area, including SkyBox items such as mountains. When done right, it is a great effect.
