Well... I restarted my PC, tried it again and it worked. I guess this is an intermittent issue. Things seem to be working now, for the moment.

I experience this from time to time as well. Sometimes (a bit more rarely though) I only get one lighthouse. Logging off and logging back on is typically enough to change the symptoms.
