The title of the PR should probably be something like "Increase the intensity of the PointLight in the async_compute example" since the light is already spawned (pedantic, I know)

No, I agree. Since the PR titles get put into the patch notes, its best to be specific about that kind of thing. Changed! c:

Rebased onto main. I tried switching from a hardcoded illuminance to light_consts::lux::DIRECT_SUNLIGHT introduced in #11581, but it still wasn't bright enough.

Point lights output in lumens, not lux. Lumens is the total amount of light emitted by a light, while lux is the amount of light an object is recieving.

Oh, that makes sense why it didn't work. 😆

Looks much better. @cart has been poking at this: I'll let him decide what to do to avoid creating subtle conflicts.

As per #11868 the new default intensity for PointLight is already 1_000_000

Ok, if #11868 gets merged then this can be closed.
