This actually rotates the view point, so if you set a fixed light, when you rotate, in some angle, you will the model is dark. To solve the problem, it's better to rotate only the model, not the light, not the view point. To rotate around a center, first move the model from the center back to orginal coordinate, then do rotation and then move it back to the center. hope it helps.
