Check out this build, it turns off specular highlights for lights when the unreal specular value is below 0.05

Im also looking into adding an emissive-component that overwrites the default light settings

Hi Chris,

Thank you for this update, im aklways amazed at how quick you itterate. I have just tested it out this morning and the specualr scale is definitely doing something. The reflections from the lights don't entirely disappear but are less noticeable. Is there a way to make them go completely?

I have added a couple of images below.

Just wanted to post an addition to this. In the previous post the lights were still partially visible because the surface wasn't 100% specular. So working as expected actually.

However the lights are 100% visible when viewed through an Octane glass shader but not visible(as intended) through an Unreal glass shader.
