Finding/adding/removing lights used by weapons?

I've funded someone to look into WotLK's renderer, and one thing he found, was that while most lights in the game illuminate nearby objects by changing their normals in a really shit way, the NPCs near ".tele Duskwood", by the camp, have torches that use a better shader for lighting objects. They have a torch equipped, with it's item ID being 2081. I've found the item, but I can't figure out how lights are attached to equippable items.

The Item.dbc file contains the item's ID, which also points to ItemDisplayInfo.dbc, that .dbc file having little in the way of intuitive documentation. It deals with geosets, which I assume have no bearing on lights, as it deals with toggling meshes depending on their ID's in a .m2 file.

So how do I find the lights used by items, like torches and lanterns?
