Yes, that is an issue, and it is because this "light" is rendered as kind of an post processing effect. Basically, the current blend mode just adds the light's color to whatever there is on the screen. And during night it is mostly black which results in only the light's color showing up. I tried with multiplying the existing color values, but again, because there is just black, the result is not physically correct (the otherwise hidden details will not become visible). I don't know if the only real solution is to use real lights for "critical" lights as Tim suggested, but that is not possible at the moment. I will try to investigate if I can find some way around this. > my light cone matierial is as follows : MATERIAL "DefaultWhite" rgb 0.2 > 0.2 0.2 amb 0.2 0.2 0.2 emis 0 0 0 spec 0 0.5 0 shi 64 trans 0.2 This is ok, but I would rather use "rgb 1 1 1 amb 1 1 1" (white cone) and "trans 0.8" which means the cone is almost invisible. The trans works the opposite of normal alpha, at least to my experiences. Only the rgb or amb material is used, the others should have no effect.
