    Hi all,

    Observed this using URP in 2021.3.4f1.

    The blue-ish lights displayed below are part of a prefab object. Their settings are:

    Picture 1: Normal Zoom
    The light effect is most noticeable on the bottom left, but a light is being emitted from all four light blue objects in this scene.

    Picture 2: Zoomed out

    Picture 2, I think, is more consistent with the intensity being set to 10. It is also how it appears if I adjust the setting inside the prefab and then navigate back to the Scene view. When I press Play or in the Game view, it appears as in Picture 1.

    Could someone elaborate on why the light is behaving in this way? Is there a way to get it to display consistently (either as Picture 2 or Picture 1)?

    On further investigation the behaviour is apparently because the light blue lights share a Light Order (Light2d -> Blending -> Light Order) with other lights in the scene (The ambient lighting shown in both pictures). Changing this value renders the lights the same way at all zoom levels.
