why did the illuminance results become so much higher when put several points together

I create a txt file containing the coordinates of four points in a room, why did the illuminance results become so much higher ? The simulation results were several times of the results when I used individual txt file for a point. For example, for calculation of the illuminance of four points in a room, first I create four txt files containing the coordinates, the results were around 100 lux, but then, I put the coordinates of the four points in a single txt file (one point in each line), the results were around 800-1000lux.

I don't know why? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
