Bill,

Just using AE = standard lights and now I feel like a dummy.=C2=A0 This happened a couple o= ther times and I didn't realize the problem, still uncertain of the exa= ct problem but this turned out to be a layering thing.=C2=A0 The thing that= throws me off is that the layers were nothing more than other lights.

Not sure I understand this one AT all.=C2=A0 Literal= ly nothing in between the lights, no obvious solid or other obstruction.

I've been working this project, just down to some final tw= eaks on lighting.=C2=A0 I'm using 6 spotlights and basically getting on= e set up, then duplicating it 6 times and moving the location around a circ= le, spread out.

Simple enough BUT, I copied light = 1, creating light 2.=C2=A0 All good.=C2=A0 Then once I created lights 3-6, = lights 1 an 2 not longer light up.

Is there some c= opy tip I'm missing?

Thanks,
