i see the commands
in BumbSpec_Light i see only
specular = pow(specular, 16) * lightColor.w * bumpVec.w;
and in BunbColorSpec_Light i see only
specular = pow(specular, 16) * lightColor.w;

I have kind of the same problem (with the linux demo). But I only have this overly bright lightning problem on the barrels (mainly the metal ring) and the metal pipe that you find.

Yupp same for me. The "spotColor.w;" is missing. But when i added in the grid that you start on when you fall down turns purple :S.
"specular = 0;" did partly solve the problem tho. Now the glow stick does not create this overly bright reflections. But the static lightning and the flashlight still do.
I will test with flares too now to see if that has any impact on it.

After i checked the cabin again it seems like i have the same problem after all. (Strange that i didn't noticed it before... It only happens when shader quality is set to high)

Note that "specular = 0;" Only fix the flares and glow stick.
Without "specular = 0;"

With "specular = 0;"
[attachment=257][attachment=258][attachment=264]
And this is what happens when i add "spotColor.w;":

I will gladly test any other possible combination. Just ask Wink
