I don't think those two are the same; if Lero-ro's explanation of the test can be taken at face value, then his barrier that time should have been essentially an artificially created high density Shinsoo environment with no additional purpose. In contrast, the various constraining effects of a Lighthouse are meant to constrain people, so even a version that is weaker than that Lero-ro's barrier should still have considerably better constraining effect (i.e., no one there would be able to calmly walk through it, though some might be able to break through).

So the question here is: Was there ever an instance where Light Bearer--or in fact anyone else--tried to freeze Baam and failed? Because I seem to recall that only two Rankers ever attempted to do this, and both succeeded. That is merely for the sake of argument, though, because even if there ever is such a scenario, we don't know whether breaking out of that kind of situation is a matter of overall power, Shinsoo resistance, or both.

Consider this, even a Wolhaiksong Ranker like Kurudan was afraid of venturing into the White Steel Eel territory because of the high Shinsoo density that had no effect on Baam when he was in Headon's fish-tank. This clearly means that Kurudan's Shinsoo resistance pales in comparison to Baam's or--as we learn during that conversation--Yuri's, but does this mean that Light Bearer technique that is only barely enough to constrain Kurudan would be unable to constrain Baam--the 2F version of Baam?
