Yeah, I understand that. The lighting setup is a bit archaic by modern standards. Setting up Lamp light sources and un-checking the "Affect Placed Objects" box, it might limit the "shine through" effect.
When I turn the light values up to 100+, it seems to bleach out the shadow effects more than I liked so I had been setting the "ambient" light source low, to around 20 and adding one directional light angling downward (about 20 also). It made a mild shadow under things that I think looks nice.

With ambient and a directional - I like the slight shadowing under the barrels etc.

Same as above but with a lamp light source added ("Affect Objects" turned off)
