Amounts of lights

I was wondering if there was a way to change the amount of lights and particles that can be shown at once because if I’m standing next to a light my particles don’t show nor does my flash light nor other lights that are by each other:/

Lights, yes. See quality settings. In Deferred Rendering you can have heaps of lights cheaply. In Forward, there is a hard limit of 4 (or is it 8?), and a limit set in quality settings.

For particles, no. You may just have the emitter misconfigured.
