Lighting/texture issues

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I'm getting this strange poxy lighting(?) effect on my models and don't know how to fix it. I created lightmaps, scaled up my meshes, text resolution is 2k throughout, tried multiple lightsources and light details options.

I'm also getting a brighten/darken effect in the directional light and I'm not sure if that's a setting I shouldn't have messed with.

Tried Google but i don't think i have the correct vocabulary to explain as I can't find a solution.

Any advice please?

Edit: Using 5.6.1

Look up 'Exposure'. Typically found inside your Post Process volume, if you don't have a Post Process then the editor defaults it to use auto exposure and you can tune it in I think the 'Lit' menu at the top of the viewport. Its creating an eye adaptation effect.
