Do the lights get dimmer at night?

[Glaius]

Could anyone tell me if the lights in the braziers, such as outside the gate at Whiterun and lining the steps up to Dragonreach, get dimmer at night?

 

At the moment I'm only running Surreal Lighting and have started a new game (not full re-install though) but did use try other mods such as Darker nights.

 

So can anyone find a brazier and check to see if there is any difference during the day compared to night and get back to me. It should only take a few minutes.

 

My theory is that at sunset the game dulls the lighting from the braziers on purpose for light balancing purposes, but I could be wrong due to perhaps a mod hang-over effect.

Well, turns out I verified this with a clean install and no mods.

 

Wait by a brazier and as the sunsets the colour of the fires does indeed dim.

 

So at night-time, instead of fires looking brighter as in 2011, in 2016 when it gets dark, so do the flames of fires get dimmer.

 

I'd call that a bodge.
