Hi,
There are a maximum of 18 lights allowed in that section (as I remember).
Also, make sure your hardware lights slider is all the way to the right.
Hope this helps,

Also, make sure your entries are consecutive - light.0 =, light.1 = etc. Easily overlooked when adding more lights.

With some of the more complicated aircraft I definitely see light effects "come and go" - this could be related to your perceived limit, Rick - good catch.
