How to increase the Lens Flare (SRP) limit in HDRP for lighting setups?

Hi everyone,

I’m using the Lens Flare (SRP) component in HDRP for the streetlights in my scene. However, I’ve encountered an issue where, once the limit for Lens Flares is reached, they start “competing” with each other—turning off one flare to light up another, which causes noticeable flickering or inconsistency in the visual effect.

I’ve checked the HDRP Asset settings but couldn’t find a way to adjust this limit. I’d like to ask:

  1. Is there a way to increase the number of Lens Flares HDRP can handle simultaneously?
  2. Has anyone else faced this issue with lighting setups? How did you resolve it?
  3. Are there any best practices for optimizing Lens Flares in scenes with multiple light sources?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Not a solution but a workaround.
Maybe you could use the screen space lens flares for unimportant flares, and the lens flare component for the important ones that need artistic input
