Steps To Reproduce
  1. Find Portable Lamp
  2. Turn on
  3. Hold in Hands (Does not cast light)
  4. Place on ground (Does not cast light in close proximity to lamp)
  5. Move away from lamp. At ~20m the lamp begins to cast light.

Also, in general I have noticed that some light sources (Portable Lamp, Torch) cast light downwards from the point of origin in a cone. Light is cast onto the environment outside of this cone however anything within this cone in the immediate proximity to the point source receives no light and is dark.

See screen shots.
