[quote]I am just wondering why my old FireGL 1 card supports 32 Lights.

Supports 32 lights where? In OpenGL?

The Diamond’s FireGL range is/was a professional OpenGL accelerator range, so you’ll find they’ll be more capable than consumer cards and will provide more functionality than the spec requires.

OpenGL says you need 8 lights minimum, however if the FireGL1 provides 32 lights, great! More for the developer to play with. ;D

Yes, you have right…

You can include at least eight different light sources in your scene of various colors; the default color of these other lights is black. (The particular implementation of
OpenGL you’re using might allow more than eight.)

…from “the red book” Chapter 5
