Same light, multiple floors

I have a chandelier  hanging in the top of a stairwell.  I put it there while I was designing the house, form the bottom up.  When I do a render, it shows very nicely when viewing from the ground floor.  But When I look into the stairwell from the second floor, it is dark.  Light data is fine, but apparently because I installed it while doing the first floor layout (Start the stairs going up, and installed it over the landing), there's no light emitted when I'm not viewing it from the second floor.

Is... a puzzlement.

Are you using Automatic Lighting Mode? This can be set in the Adjust Lights dialog (shown below) or the camera specification dialog.

Automatic Lighting Mode will disable lights depending on camera and room locations. You can use a light set to force the chandelier and other lights to always be on.
