Description
This might be the same issue as #61, which is for top/bottom, but I'm not sure.
When creating a directional light (pointing downwards), if you pan the camera far enough to the left or right, you get darkness. I'm working around this for now by periodically dirtying all the static lights, but that's sorta ugly.
Is this expected? Am I supposed to poke static lights periodically, or should they "know" that the camera is panning near/past the last calculated light area?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported case: create a downward-pointing directional light, then pan the camera far left or right until darkness appears. Compare the behavior with issue #61 and determine whether the light should update as the camera approaches or passes the calculated area. Done means the directional light behaves correctly during panning without periodically dirtying static lights.
