When you put any light source, for example, a torch, then after removing it, the light remains, after re-entering the game it wears out.
It also happens if you put a light source and leave the world, it will be the same problem.

Not the original bug reporter, but I'd like to provide some input regarding the issue.
Can confirm existence since 1.18.30 (still happening on 1.18.33) on Nintendo Switch specifically. Might be related to Renderdragon being introduced to all Bedrock platforms.
Just made a zombie spawner farm with a redstone lamp as the off switch.
Steps to reproduce:
Have lamp on or place a light emitting source.
Wait for autosave or look away from newly placed light source (The brightness/light level will appear doubled when looking at it again).
Turn lamp off or remove light source during autosave (may also occur without autosave when doing the look away method).
Expected result: Immediate vicinity becomes dark for the spawner to activate.
Observed result: There's a ~80% chance that residual light remains, therefore keeping the zombies from spawning.
Current workaround: Place a block to remove the "ghost light" source.
Resolving temporarily as Awaiting Response. Is this still an issue in the latest version of the game? If so, could you please export your world and add it to your report (here's a tutorial explaining where to find the files on various platforms: link)? If it exceeds the file size limit, you can upload it elsewhere (e.g., google drive) and link it here.
