    there is light coming from the left so you should be getting some, but if it’s more than you think it should be then are you using textures that use luminance? That always gives more light than there should be in darker areas

    Okay. I found the problem. The shadow density was set to 80% that’s why some polygons get light. But I thought I can make the shadows less intense with this option.

    You are making the shadows less intense with that setting, meaning that some light is leaking into the shadow.

    Instead of using that setting you might want to adjust the contrast in the light’s Details tab.
