Dafuq's going on:
I've taken some glances at the code. I think I know just what's happening.

There is a ceiling for luminosity. I could not quite find the piece of code that defines it, but flashlights become ineffective at some point. Let's say, for the sake of the argument, that that ceiling is 8. A flare gives 7, a flashlight gives 4. You add them up, you'd get an 11, but our ceiling is 8, so your luminosity is 8. And then you turn off your flashlight. What happens? Your luminosity drops by 4 points, down to 4, even though you're holding a flare, which gives 7 luminosity.

My fix for this would be creating a second variable - say "actual luminosity" - to keep track of the... Actual luminosity your character is carrying. When removing luminosity, you'd remove luminosity from this "actual luminosity" variable and then apply it to the player - after adjusting, if necessary, for the ceiling. But I can't code in BYOND, so that's up to you.

I believe I reported this issue earlier using the same information you posted here.
Come on apo, get on it.

We are focusing on the alpha, while we are doing some bugfixes, the majority of our work, is going into the alpha.

I'll look into this, but keep in mind, that I work 2 jobs and have limited time to code.

Fixed.

Fun thing, this one was caused not by one, but two different bugs in two different files (1, 2).
