    The Light object is here, inside the building...


    But why is it glowing outside, like there's no wall in between?


    Am I doing something wrong?

    You will need to use shadows. You can make them dynamic or you can bake them.

    He said, more than six months later.

    (btw, it could be a number of things, some images would help, the ones in the first post are not working anymore)

    I can't give any pics right now.
    I can tell you about the problem.

    There's a building, and there's a point light inside it. If you see from outside of the building, you can see the reflection on the floor (the reflection of the light), as if there is no wall in between. That's the problem.

    It could be a number of things, I have to see it.

    (are you using precomputed lighting? reflection probes?)

    I've read that if your walls are too thin light can "leak" through them.
