Environment mode and scene lights

ps2000

I am not a new user anymore but the question is very basic.

Until now I was under the impression that if you select "dome only" under environment mode the scene lights would be inactive and only the hdri image would be used.

Is that really not the case? Do you have to switch off scene lights individually?

Current renders I did indicate the latter. 

Thanks.

Maybe you have DS lights and emissive geometry in you scene? DS lights get disabled with dome only while emitters keep shining.

It seems to be emissive lights. They are used in a lot of premade buyable scenes.

Sadly it seems I have to deactivate them manually in the surfaces tab.

What a chore.
