Fire barrel lighting

Description

Hello,

This seems to be a similar issue to the one I have reported on the sunlight lighting, but this one pertains to active fire barrels. On the videos below you will see that the fire barrel is emitting light, but when you turn around or slightly move your head, the lighting disappears. I believe this happens at night mostly. Furthermore, this is not limited to fire barrels only but to other sources of fire as well.

Details

Severity: Minor
Resolution: Open
Reproducibility: Always
Operating System: Windows 10 x64
Category: Visual-Environment

Steps To Reproduce

Activate a random fire barrel during a night by starting a fire
Stand anywhere you want to
Start moving your character's head around, a little bit left, a little bit right, up and down etc.
Please note how the ligthing appears and disappears as you move the mouse
You can also note that it happens regardless if you are inside or outside of the building in which you have activated the barrel
Also, you can try moving far away from the barrel or from the building in which you have left it, even 1 km away, and watch how you can see the light, but after zooming in with a scope or binoculars - the light disappears

You can apply the above for a furnace or fireplace too.

Additional Information

I have tested this only on version 1.07. The issue occurs both on vanilla official servers and the modded community servers.
