    Ambient light is darker than the number should be

    Using 1,1,1,1 gives me a very dark ambient light. Shouldn't this be full-bright? I have to turn it up to about 5,5,5 to get pure white. I am not using any materials or textures on this.

    bank=CreateBank(16)
    PokeFloat bank,0,1.0
    PokeFloat bank,4,1.0
    PokeFloat bank,8,1.0
    PokeFloat bank,12,1.0
    glLightModelfv GL_LIGHT_MODEL_AMBIENT,bank

    Oh I see.

    To get the lights to just behave normally, you have to set the material to 1,1,1 ambient and 1,1,1 diffuse. Specular I can understand, but I would have thought that they would just behave normally by default, instead of darkening the light.
