Intentional. All light sources give off max to the block they're in, and max-1 to their surroundings (and max-2 to those surroundings... etc)

ya I know that but is block light measured at your head or at your feet?

Comment by Kumasasa [ 31/Oct/12 ]

Not a bug, the light level decreases by one in every air block / transparent block

might or might not be a bug
