I have this phenomen, that the light changes in its brightness, wenn i lookaround or move around in the scene.

For example, it looks first like this, then i look a little bit higher, but dont even move position.

Then as you can see especially in the background, it gets brighter.

Then i move the view a bit higher, and it gets darker again.

Has anyone had this problem too and knows how to solve it?
 
Solution
This is what happens when lights are in Auto mode. Depending on which light is closer, or has more effect from that point of view, it will switch to ForcePixel by itself. They switch themselves back too. There's a limit on pixel lights in Preferences. Increasing that number may reduce the light changing problem, but it could also reduce FPS. If you find the lights that have the strongest effect and set them to ForcePixel, it might be better. This can also happen when all lights are in ForcePixel, but there are more than the limit.

Thaks for your reply SlimerJSpud.

I changed the light settings to ForcePixel and the problem disappeared.

So, thanks a lot.
