Dynamic Lighting and the DM view

Hello I am currently running a DnD 5e campaign that has a mix of elves, dwarves, humans. The humans have no special vision at all. So to simulate them carrying torches, I make them a light source with the diameter of the torch. The elves and dwarves can see much further than that. I, as DM and owner of the "game" can see everyone's light. So for me, most of the time, a huge portion of the map is lit. The problem is, while running the game, my players' light sources over lap and I can't tell whose light is whose. Is there a way to limit the lights for me, the DM? For example, it sure would be cool if I only saw the light coming off the current selected token, that way, I can see what that player sees. Is there anyway to do this? TIA Andy

Hey Andy! It's actually pretty easy, if you select a token and press CTRL + L you'll see the game through that token's eyes. Quick edit: There's also plenty of other cool shortcuts you can make use of,  this page in the wiki shows a few. Hope that helps :)
