Numerical simulations of light curves of variable DA white dwarfs (ZZ Ceti stars) predict flux amplitudes with surface distributions different from the spherical harmonics of the pulsation mode in deeper layers. In contrast to the results of the perturbation analysis by Goldreich and Wu this is also true for the fundamental period of the flux variation. As a consequence normalized amplitude spectra depend not only on the mode number l but also on pulsation amplitude and inclination. Another new result is that with increasing amplitude of the pressure variation below the convection zone the flux variation at the surface goes through a maximum and then decreases again.
