Bug Description:
Not sure if it's still in effect from the recent change, but last round I played whenever I activated or threw a flare/flashlight (I assume it's any light source), my armor light would go to a slight step above a PDA flashlight (~2 tile radius). No pictures, but I had to turn off/turn on the armor light multiple times as a "workaround".
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have active armor light
2. Activate or throw other light source like a flare (Definitely more noticeable when you throw a flare)
3. Observe a loss of light and field of vision (especially when you're on your own)

Lights are pretty bugged all around at the moment, especially after moving down laddders.
Garth Pawolski, or is it Powalski?

The lighting in the game is pretty old. This won't get fixed until the entire module is replaced. Resolved.
