Hi, when we do a project without any baked lighting (static lighting turned off in project settings), is static light still the cheapest in performance and movable the most expensive?
I only found in the docs that movable is the cheapest when light has no shadows, but I remember an experienced generalist telling me to use movable lights and ignore the description in complete dynamic lighting project, though I couldn’t find any proofs for that later.
Static and stationary are much cheaper to run than moveable.
But… you pay for it in memory. ( It has to hold all the shadow maps ).
If you mark your lights as static, but never build light, you’re basically using really bad moveable lights.
You have to choose a path and implement it fully 
Doubt there will be any performance difference at all between static/stationary/movable with static lighting disabled.
But what are you doing really, by turning that off, and then using static lights? 
Static is still default type of light even with the static lighting disabled
It is with Lumen also. I just think nobody’s bother to change the default mobility for the lights…
