Can aiTwoSided shader work with lights?

I find using the aiTwoSided shader ignores all lighting in a scene and renders even without any lights. Is this a limitation or is there a method?

I don't get that. What do you have as front and back shaders?

@Lee Griggs

Thanks for posting the node tree. I see why it was not working now. I had NOT connected two aiStandardSurface nodes to the aiTwoSided shader node. Instead I had just connected two File nodes to the aiTwoSided node. It rendered bit did not react to lighting.
