Taking control over lamp in Bed Layout.gsm

How can I take control over night table lamp light settings in standard Bed Layout.gsm ?

I'm rendering 156 interior scenes (marketing purpose) with Maxwell Render using Maxwell's Plugin and I cannot force thoes night table lamps to be switched off.
It would be great if I could equip dozens night tables I have with lamps just by "one click" rather than placing all of them manually as separate gdl object (which can be swithed off, and its working in maxwell) on every night table.

I've tried editing part of the script responsible for lamp settings(in Bed Layout.gsm), but even when I've turned everything "off" and set up all light values to "0" (attached image) it still glowing as in the beginning.
I must admit, I don't know much about gdl language, but with some sense of observation and comparision - I did my best 😉

{I also had some other problem/observation using Maxwell Plugin - imo maxwell does not fully support Light Intensity settings (this one with slider): setting its value to "1" gives same result as "50" or even "100" (if it's true - perhaps my post should go to "Presentation - Rendering and Multimedia"..) or maybe I'm basically doing something wrong?..}

Any ideas?

Bartek:

From your screen shots the code looks fine. You should try a rendering in ArchiCAD with just this revised part to see if the lamps are off, if so, then there appears to be a translation issue Maxwell.
