newbie question about layer styles

[chrisXR]

Hi. I'm creating a simple rectangular button. I apply a bevel & emboss layer style to it. I dup the layer and layer style. On the bottom layer i change the shading angle, but any change i make also changes the top layer. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? I could flatten the layer and style and lose the ability to edit or is there another way around this? Thanks for any help.
