"Set up Default Lighting" Ruined my Cell

[Kit314]

Hello,

 

I was wondering if anyone has ever used the "Set up Default Lighting" button at the top of the CK tool bar. (If you haven't DON'T)

I accidentally hit it and it brightened my whole cell up...almost to the level of having the "dev light" (or whatever it's called). There was no "undo" option to reverse it. Luckily I had just saved so I was going to just load the project to go back to before I hit the button...That is when utter stupidity struck. My ingrained save-happy mind, had already forgotten that I was not going to save...So I saved. AFTER I had made the change and now it appears to be permanent.

 

The brightness persists into the game and makes my cell stupid bright, and I mean stupid bright. It takes away the need for ANY light sources what so ever. It looks bad, and I really wish I knew how to get rid of it. Does anyone have any suggestions? or Fixes?

I fixed it. I will post here for anyone who has the same issue as me. The button appears to have added very bright lights to the cell that are outside of the cell walls. You just have to find and delete these lights and it returns the cell back to regular lighting.

Your fix saved my sanity!!! I scoped all around the outside structure and saw a tiny light bulb way off in the distance then zoomed in closer and deleted the bulb. Found them all and deleted each one and all is well now. Thank you so much for posting the fix.
