As per images. First image is in the Commonwealth, it should be a recognizable sight. Second image is in Far Harbor at Dalton Farm.
I put severity as Medium because I really like using Fire Barrels for illumination
If you place the barrel really close to something, you can see a bit of illumination and the shadows of the barrel's mesh, but nowhere close to the right amount of illumination.
At first I thought it was on purpose due to the fog, but that makes no sense because the fog condensers and plenty of other light sources work as expected.
Note that candles and campfires do seem to provide the correct amount of illumination in Far Harbor.
