Preview render and actual render look very different

Hello.

The daytime render looks fine.

As for the night time render, the complete render looks very different from the preview (the scene is far brighter)

I have no clue about what's going on and i have never seen such a problem...

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Here's a screenshot:

    It looks like maybe one of your lights (sun light) is hidden in the viewport but not in the render. Check the outliner to see if the eyeball icon is greyed-out on one of your lights while the camera icon is not greyed out. That would make an object hidden/inactive in the viewport but visible/active in the render.

    Just as you said, many thanks.
