DX lights don't calculate light intensity by normals, do they?

changing the light to directional seemed to make it a bit smoother after updateing normals,
or when i loaded a cube from a modeler with a smooth group of 90.
Thats kinda strange, its seems like a directional light should "pop in " more than a point light.
