User blog:Heimdalsgate/Vampires and Light Sensitivity

Starting in season 8 with Benny, it seemed that he was often out in the light with no problems whatsoever. Then in the most recent episode "Don't You Forget About Me", Henry is also seen outside during the day with no problems whatsoever.

The Lore suggests vampires find daylight to be "like a bad sunburn" which is more than nothing. I initially thought maybe Benny had gained some daywalker abilities by coming back from purgatory. It seemed like vampires in earlier seasons were more clearly light sensitive. As of the most recent episode I'm starting to feel like they don't really care about the sun one way or another.
