I have a lens flare for several lights in a model , and they seem to be showing still when in use with orbit controls.

When the model is moved , they show through the model.

Is this something that I have setup incorrect in terms of a property on the lensflare itself?

[jarmstrong](https://discourse.threejs.org/u/jarmstrong) I too have this issue. I have yet to build an isolated test case though so I have not submitted it as a bug report.

Let me know if you figure this out.

[titansoftime](https://discourse.threejs.org/u/titansoftime) If I have time i will try and build an isolated case , for now I may just have to hide the lens flare if its not in camera view…
