Concerning Sector Lights

Dear GZDoomers,
I have a simple question concerning dynamic lights: Right now, when I place lights in my map, the look like this:

White Light has such a strange blurr, as it colors the surrounding areas (light level = 80) with white and gray instead of simply brightening the walls and floors up to make them look like 255 brightness!
I want them to look like this:

What to do?

Turn off additive lighting. It's in the opengl lighting options in display.

Force additive lighting = OFF

This occures automatically if you have fog in the area with lights. Though.

The problem is, in some areas the Additive Lighting looks quite cool, in other areas it doesn't (dark ones), I don't want to have this setting globally, it would be better to be unique for each dynamic light!

BTW: Is this Standard = on?

Some lights are, others don't-AFAIK, not posisble.

Standard - no. Default is Off

You can. Thing types 9810-9815 are additive lights.
