Bug #2508
Unknow light source appearing when loading rover
100%
Description
Hi,
when I load my rover on the mun (quickload or switch) there appears a light that is not attached to anything. This started to happen after the 0.23.5 update (perhaps unity problem?).
It appears that the light appears in the rover and when I move the rover the light stays.
Happens also when I place the attached rover on the launchpad.
Personnally don't know if this happens with spacecraft in orbit but a friend of mine said so :)

Updated by I noticed that too, it can be visible also when using Mk1 lander can. It seems to me it's the can's (or on your case Cupola module's) IVA light.
Some time ago I made a ship with ten Mk1 cans and deployed it on runway and it produced ten such light marks. They marked the same shape in which cans were arranged in the ship but they were oriented perpendicularly to the ship. They also did not move as I moved the ship.

There might be a possible link to #2507; both are relating to lighting issues from the same author.
I marked as Need More Info since this needs to be tested and confirmed without mods.

I see no problem replicating that.
Nine modules in a row, last four are rotated by 45, 90, 135, and 180 degrees. Results in nine light marks in a row, last four show signs of rotation.
Exact result may depend on how Kerbin is rotated when you start the save.
I'm attaching the image and an SPH craft file.

I guess this bug might be also useful as further evidence for #2358.
