Brief description of the issue:

The new TIN / mesh of Cliffs of Moher in Ireland looks great by day, BUT during the night, it looks very odd. It has a lot of glowing/shining/light artifacts all over.
The same issue also exists for the new TIN of the hill at Gibraltar.
I assume it’s a general issue with the new 3D-scanned TIN and definitelly needs investigation / fix.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Oh trust me, the issue is there also in Gibraltar. You probably don’t see it because the default Asobo LXGB has a bug on it’s own and covers the new TIN with some ugly old handplaced rocks.
But if you remove them with this mod here, as it probably was planned for WU17 anyway, then you can cleary see the same issue with the TIN of the Gibraltar hill at night.

I haven’t tried at night yet, but went for a flight the other day and the area is full of trees that weren’t there on initial WU17 update. Something has changed.

Hmm. Whatever has caused this may be the root cause of this bug too (speculation)?
