Switch Lighting Lags Behind Character

Just recently picked the game up for Switch after coming from PC. I’m noticing though that the lighting isn’t following my character properly. If I walk around with a torch out the light seems to lag behind my character quite a bit. Most noticeable in dark caves. On PC and mobile I don’t have this issue. I did report it and I looked up some gameplay from other Switch’s. It seems other Switch gameplay videos display this light lag.
 
Just decided to try and capture it on footage. I apologize in advanced for the awful PC recording. I'm currently using a macbook with boot camp to try and capture it. My main machine is away at the moment.

PC gameplay


Switch Gameplay


Also want to add that I've noticed multiple FPS drops as well as other performance issues in caves. What I may be experiencing could be related to switching biomes. But I've also seen my FPS drop walking around a normal cave.

Thanks @SireNightFire, if you haven't already I suggest that you send this info in straight to Pipeworks (the team porting the game to console) here: Terraria: Console & Mobile Bug Form I'm not sure if it's considered a bug, or merely just a difference on how PC/mobile handles light than console, but I can see what you're talking about, and it never hurts to send in the info. You can give them a link to this thread for them to see the videos.
