How many lights do you have turned on ?  I think the limit is 8.  It may not be where you moved the light to but rather moving it resequenced it back to the top of the list from wherever it was before beyond number 8.   Just a guess.  Would have to look at the plan to be sure.

I have tried that I turned on all lights and did a Perspective full overview physically based all lights worked  and cast light that were labeled outside  ( 48 lights )  yes 48 in the view.. The lights that are under the patios did not work. I later zoomed inside a patio area and added a wall light as soon as I did the lights that were off on patio ceiling were all on? so I zoomed out of patio area the lights stayed on as soon as did something for screen to refresh the patio lights went out all other lights labeled outside

stayed on????

problem solved: In the adjust lights layout if you are in a 3d view (Physically Based ) a new box is available ( lighting mode) you can change from automatic to ( light Set ) 

after this is checked any lights  or number of lights that are on in plan inside or outside will now cast light in your view. A inside light will cast light onto

the outside ground from inside through a window
