Yep, virtual lights work the same as real lights

If they’re not looked at, they don’t consume as much electricity. So there’s that difference.

If you have your back to them, they don't emit light either!

Edit: Well, reflections, for you with the FANCY GPUs...

Exactly what I thought while I was commenting that. The reflections are what made me rewrite it 😅

That depends on how the game does reflections. In some games they have a mirrored room with an identical but different light for the reflection.

The problem with those virtual lamps is that when you look away, the light turns off but the heat doesn't.

Virtual lights are real lights...
