    Ok tested it in a new project.
    Render Layers only works properly in Deferred rendering, it does not work in Forward or Forward+.
    Light Culling Mask only works properly in Forward, it does not work properly in Forward+ or Deferred.

    So effectively:
    Forward: selective lighting can only be done with Culling Masks
    Deferred: selective lighting can only be done with Render Layers.
    Forward+: selective lighting can not be done in any way.

    Seems to still be happening in 2022.2.1f.
    Not really any workaround either because when disabling "Use Rendering Layers" the light Culling Mask also does not work at all.
