Description in the album. This happens to
all light sources (lights, furnaces, accumulators, etc.).

The same happens with the power supply range of substations, which you can see as a blue area while holding a power pole. At least i think that this issue is very similar.

This is a known issue with no simple fix that wouldn't be a huge performance hit (always rendering large sections of off-screen entities).

Search a little harder. Support for custom light rendering distance was added in Factorio 0.17.70 in the form of a utility constant. There is a performance implication because it increases the work the renderer has to do for every rendered frame.
