Hello!

I am currently facing an issue where light doesn’t seem to illuminate some objects properly. The first picture has environment on and looks good to me, but when I turn it off and add some lights it seems to go almost completely black. As you can see in the second image, the light is blasting the red object but seems to only light up the rest a little bit. Also the spikes lose their metallic shine.

I have only default settings on. All of the materials are set to default except the sphere, which is set to reflective. What do I do please?
