PointLight does not work inside of a cube

If you place a PointLight inside of the cube, the cube won’t be lighted from inside.

Workarround 1: use different light e.g. HemisphericLight

Indeed, the normals are pointing to the outside. If you want the lighting to also work inside the cube, you can set the twoSidedLighting property of the material:
