Deferred Lighting
I have a simple hallway with a bunch of small lights. I have the lights in real-time. I also have the lights on important. Long story short it runs slow and their is no reason for that. I noticed by some warnings and stuff that Unity is still in forward lighting mode. I already switched it in the player settings. Just wondering if anyone can tell me what I did wrong or didn't do. Thanks.

Do you have the pro version? Deferred rendering is only available with a pro version.

Yup. In the free version. Thought it worked in the free. Sorry. Does deferred lighting work good in Unity pro? I'm sure it does but just want to check. Want to have lots of lights in my game. Thanks
That's one of the main goal of deferred rendering. The number of lights doesn't matter.
Note that the limit of lights is per object. You can have as many lights in your scene as you want, but only 8 of them (at maximum quality) will affect a given object at any time. (Not sure if these lights are chosen by distance or intensity, though)
