_LightColor0 is always 0 when rendering into reflection probe

Subj. I set the directional light color to orange and im just returning it in the skybox shader. The skybox in the scene is correct, however in the reflection probe its always black. I can always manually copy the color through script ofcourse, but i was wondering if theres a better solution. I assume its some kind of workaround to prevent the sun from being rendered into the probe.
