Dynamic Light no limit to the sight of vision.

First I would like to apologize about my english, it's not my first language and their is some time I don't use it. I recently subscribed the plus version. I'm testing the dynamic light and i found something that i can't fix by any means. Only the third line on the settings on the tokens "Emits light" work. I can't set a limit of the characters sight of vision before it reaches the wall, if I set to 40ft and 20ft on start of dim it still go on until reaches the wall that I set with the tool. The same happens with the second line, if I set to everyone see the light, nothing happens at all. I've been using Google Chrome Version 51.0.2704.103 m and Mozilla Fire Fox Version 47.0 and I use Windows 10 Pro as operating system. All add-ons are off, I've tested in both browsers, turned off the anti-virus programs and cleared my cache. There is something that can be done to fix it? I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi Serjaummm, Do you have any light sources on the GM layer or the dynamic light layer?
Yes, if the bonfire token is on the GM layer you won't see its light.

Doug E. said: Yes, if the bonfire token is on the GM layer you won't see its light. ah, sorry, yes meant dynamic light layer or object layer
You might want to check in the map settings for Dynamic Lighting, that you don't have Global Illumination turned on,  If you do light sources and range of vision would not matter as the whole map would be lit, the only thing that stops them from seeing in this case would be line of site. as in a wall being in the way
Thanks for all the help, when i turned off the global light, the line of sight work properly for the players tokens, and when I turned off the enforce line of sight, the players could see the bonfire. Thanks for all the help guys. =)
