    Point Light's range in HDRP is artificially capped to 10 000 units, with a smooth dimming from 9k to 10k - regardless of the light source actual range & intensity settings.
    Is there any way to change this setting ?
    I know there are workarounds like scaling the entire scene down, but I'm more interested in the what/how/why of this behavior, especially since it's HDRP-specific.

    Finally found it :
    In your Light component, part "Emission", click on the "More Options" cog.
    It's the "Fade Distance" parameter.
