Okay , i've looked around it but still one problem persists.. All the room is dark unless I spread light entities everywhere but it makes the room ugly as it shows a very light circle where the light comes from..

Yes but would this light everything up...? Would I have to do this for every single place in the map?

Usually 1 light entity can light up a room that is 512x512... spamming lights doesn't look good for alphas, and can hurt peoples performance.

So why do I get a completly dark room? It won't even cast the light on the floor , just the lamp glows..

Ok, open a new map and give THIS a try.
And make sure your light isn't inside a wall or a model or something.

Are you sure you're using actual light entities and not env_lightglow or something?
