I was wondering if this is a limitation, or a bug? When a floor is set to reflective, dynamic lights don't appear on them at all.
So if you had a very dark room with reflective floors, and you place decorative lights or whatever around the room, you pretty much still won't be able to see anything because the dynamic light isn't drawn against the floor at all.

That's because reflective floors are essentially translucent planes - and (at least with non-shader lights) there is no decent way to blend them.

Re: Dynamic lights not rendered on reflective floors/ceiling
I'd best recommend you do one of the following:
-don't use dynamic lights and use sector light
-don't use reflective floors
speaking of which I'm making a wad and I have non-reflective floors and ceilings and my dynamic lights don't show on them
-don't use dynamic lights and use sector light
