How can I draw only the shadows of a Light2D-LightOccluder2D interaction to a sprite?(Without the light)

The structure of the nodes is something along the lines of:

  • Sprite(Background)-
  • Light2D(Global light)
  • Node2D:
    -LightOccluder2D
    -Light2D
  • Node2D:
    -LightOccluder2D
    -Light2D
  • Node2D:
    -LightOccluder2D
    -Light2D

Each Node2D/Light2D is only used to cast a shadow with their respective Node2D/LightOccluder, to the Background Sprite. But that ends up over-illuminating my sprite.

Any ideas how can I only draw the shadow to the background in a smart way?

I tried playing with the layers and masks, but I can’t manage to separate the drawing of the shadow and the light to different layers.

Thanks in advance.
