Low Light + Bright Light Source Rendering

Just looking for a quick confirmation so I can hopefully stop driving myself crazy during prep -- is low light not rendering correctly with bright light for light sources? I can get one or the other to render, but not both.

Hi S B! It might help if you were to post some screen shots of settings, along with what you are seeing on the VTT. There are a lot of things that can affect the appearance of light.
Was originally just looking for a 'works for me' so didn't bother with the screenshots, but we've come this far so here we are. No darkvision on the token. Would expect an additional 20ft of low light on the upper left, historically.

Well, part of the problem might be Tinted Light. It really a quirky feature I tend to avoid. Overlapping sources can give unexpected results. I notice you have a token on the board. If that token has night vision, it can skew the perception of dim light, since it can make dim light appear bright. But to answer your main question, typically dim and bright display properly for me. It's hard to tell even from the screen shots what might be causing those displays. Certainly that one at top left looks incorrect. If you would like someone to come into your game and investigate (a lot more efficient that me just asking you to do test after test.), feel free to DM me an invite, and I would be happy to investigate.
Thanks for the confirmation, much appreciated! The tint is just the board color so I could easily demo the gradient of the low light, and the token has no low light vision. I'll chalk it up to just a browser render issue, then... chrome has been hit or miss lately with nvidia and linux it seems.
Do you still see this behavior when logged into the game as a player using a dummy account? Sometimes, for me, light effects look different to a player than they do for me as the game creator. (Logging in "As Player" with the same account with which you created the game is not the same.)
