Wierd Diffuse Light with Vertex Shader

OpenGL OpenGL: Advanced Coding
1

My vertex shader code for simple diffuse light is the following:

vfconn OUT;
OUT.HPos = mul(ModelViewProj, IN.position);
OUT.Col0=IN.position*saturate( dot(IN.norm, normalize(litepos-IN.position)) );
OUT.texcoord=IN.texcoord;
return OUT;

And the results:
pic

The radius of the lit area both increases with increasing x,y or z (a plane object on the x/y plane is lit)

I checked my vertices, normals and light position to be correct. Any idea whats wrong?

thank you in advance!

Why are you multiplying the IN.position with the dot product of the normal and surface to light vector?

i wanted to see if the vertex coordinates are valid, and to see the orientation of the coordinates (so i know that the transformations are right).
btw i found the problem, my nomrlas were set up improperly.
thanx anyway
