Limit on number of lights that can be on at a time?

(Not sure where else to put this, so putting it here.) I haven't done a whole lot of testing on this, but today (during daytime) I was verifying that a bunch of crafted lampposts had the "Interact" capability, so I put 28 in a room and turned them on one by one. I noticed that when I turned on the ninth, the first turned off, and when I turned on the tenth, the second turned off, etc. I haven't tried experimenting with lighting outside/in biomes (rather than in a room inside the Player's House), but was curious if anyone else has noticed/experienced this?

I tested this with the default Black Wrought Iron Streetlamps and Wooden Lampposts with Yellow Lights in the Plaza at nighttime and daytime -- I did not notice similar effects. I seemed to be able to toggle on more than 8 lamps at a time. Haven't done much testing beyond that. I'm guessing maybe there could be a limitation inside the Player's House because it's such a small space, and rendering too much light on at once could get wonky, whereas in the open world, it can diffuse a lot more? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Lizz (talk) 18:08, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
