Works here, check the Light Distance parameter to see if it is long enough to reach the floor.

It seems like compatibility bug. That project was created in Archicad 18 International version but finished and rendered in Archicad 18 Czech version. It looks like this is the problem. If I create new project there is no problem...

Ahoj Tom

Have you tried saving and exporting scenes from the czech template and importing them in to your INT version project?

It would still seem like one of the light parameters in the object settings is different, if that doesn't make any difference.

Hodně štěstí!

If the same libraries are being used in both versions, there should be no difference. Another possibility, since the Lamp is placed in the ceiling (Slab or Roof?), is that you need to SEO the Lamp from the ceiling, using Subtraction with downward extrusion, so the Lamp is not buried in the ceiling. For a similar issue see this thread: Visible light source and night scene in cinerender?.
