How to make Rect light invisible in Path Tracer

hey,

Im using UE 5.3 for a cinematic, and rendering with Path tracer, as it looks so amazing. I am finding though that Rect lights will render white if seen by the camera.

Is there a way to make lights invisible to the camera? or do i just need to push them out of frame…not ideal.

Cheers

Yes, normally you can uncheck the visible option in your light parameters. If my memory serves me well, the render visibily did not impact the light in the scene.

The visibility tag seems to turn the light off. Or is there another option?

I solved the issue. It was in the render console variables.
