As a follow-up to your 280 light source question, do VFX and other intermittent light sources like that count against that number?

They would. [If VFX] was doing something like, for example, fireflies, and they had light sources that they were giving off, that would all count towards that limit. What I don't know, though, is if there's a difference between GPU particles, if they were casting lights, versus the light entities that we place, if that runs through a different system or not. But I would guess that they all follow the same budget.
