It actually wouldn't be too resource intensive if it was done the L4D way. From a 3rd party perspective, you only see the beams but they don't really light anything, meanwhile from FP view, it would.

And see above. The Forgelight engine was designed for MMO's, which may or may not include multiple dynamic sources of volumetric (flash)lights.
