Line of site issue for dynamic lighting

Hi there, I am trying to incorporate dynamic lighting to my games, i was able to get tokens to emit light which was visible to everyone, next was to have player tokens see in a 140degree arc in front of them, but when i try to do this it turns off the lighting for all of the tokens i had before. So either the players can see in an arc in front of them and not see any other light emitting tokens, or they can emit light in 360 degrees and see other light emitting tokens. I don't know how this is happening. Also on page settings, (on page details), i can tick "dynamic lighting" to be enabled, but on the dynamic lighting tab it will turn "dynamic lighting" off, im not sure if this has anything to do with it. Any help would be appreciated!

For involved lighting solutions like this, I would advise using a  Dummy Account  and assign permissions for various token to it. Ctrl-L has limitations for testing light setups. It's mostly for determining line of sight solutions. It won't give you an accurate view for all variables (you can still see the GM, layer, for instance, and external lights won't always be perceived.)
