Hey there!

I recently tested lighting a room through a window via IBL with and without portal lights. While the portal lights seem to work fine, i realized, that i had to switch to edit mode and back to object mode with the room-mesh selected to get a brighter lighting result. Is this about refreshing the room-mesh material oder the light?

I added a short video concerning the issue.

Hmm, which one is the correct render?  Edit mode or object?

I think edit mode is right, because if not, i don't see a difference in lighting when using portal lights.
