LightInfluence acting odd - I think?

This seems like unwanted activity with LightInfluence, but when I set all Ambients to 0, even though there is environmental lighting, the particle practically disappears.

The color is virtually the same at night, you can just see it a little better cause it's darker in the background.

Erm, nevermind. The textures were having some really weird activity earlier on with shading, but they seemed to have fixed themselves and I mistook them for overly dark textures. My bad.
