Undefined light in Eevee

Hi,

I have a simple scene with no lights. Only Emission will be activate later in the scene. So it should be dark, but there is a small light in Eevee

When I change to Cycles, it’s dark. How can I remove this light?

In eevee the world light or hdri will light through objects (even if you are inside a totally enclosed object),
are you using the scene world? its it set to be totally black?. if yes to these there must be at least one light somewhere (that could also bleed through objects).

Also emission in eevee will not cast light on objects (only “light” objects and the scene world will cast light), so if you want to use an emissive object to light things you will have to use cycles anyway.
