I want to create an indoor environment and hence need an indoor light source, I have tried out the led plugin, but it does not give out any shadows. I have tried out the directional lights, but it could not be contained inside the walls. Can you please guide me regarding this.

So far Gazebo's point & spot lights don't cast shadows yet. Only directional lights cast shadows and the size is infinitely large, with position doesn't give any difference. Recently I saw that there is some update in Gazebo 11 adding texture for spotlight shadow https://github.com/osrf/gazebo/pull/2914, but last time I tried it didn't cast shadows yet.
