Adjusting fixture light source location
I've noticed some fixtures have flawed light source locations. For example, the twist pendant in the library has the light shining from the ceiling instead of from the fixture. It causes the fixture to cast a shadow and makes a bright spot on the ceiling. Is there an easy way to move the light source down to where it should be??

Open it up in 3D, then fiddle with these until you like it. I turn ON the location so I cannot miss it, when doing this.
