Visibility do not apply to child objects

while using three inspector i noticed if

parent = new THREE.Object3D();
parent.add(mesh1);
parent.add(mesh2);
parent.visible = false;

mesh1 and mesh 2 are still visible. is this intended or bug?

Hi everyone, not sure if this has already been clarified, but Im trying to set up an enclosed room with some soft lighting. I wanted to use area lights to achieve this but the light source is visible. Is there a way to keep the light emitting but hide the visibility of the light source itself? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
