Re: WIP furniture / lights library
If I remove the texture on the street lamp's globe, the light shows. But the star lamp also has a texture at the same opacity and the light shows in it.

No, the texture is only on the outside. I'm thinking the problem is the size of the light? I wish there was a way to see what size the light actually is.

Definitely something with the texture. I tried it with the texture that was working and now it works. It appears Yafaray likes transparent textures and Sunflow doesn't care.

Re: WIP furniture / lights library
The two yellow ones have a transparent png as the texture, one with it on both sides of the globe, one with it only on the outside. The white ones have no texture, again one with the color on both sides and one with the color on the outside.
Having the color/texture on both sides or just one doesn't seem to make a difference.
This is using a white light source in each of them (instead of making them a light). On all of the globes, the texture/color is at 70% opacity.
Now to figure out how the Light Diameter property corresponds to size.

Re: WIP furniture / lights library
I'm working on doing comparisons of different light settings. Here's a test with just a color and no texture at varying opacities. Having no texture doesn't look very good at least with simple shapes.
These are 70%, 80% and 90% opacity from left to right.
