There are two ways to do lighting - Extra Light and lights. See the "Colored Lighting" tutorial here at Massassi, it tells you how the whole lighting system works. Extra light is a value for sectors. It simple adds an even light value to everything in the level. The way I do hndle this is to give all my sectors an extra light value of say, .3 or so. That gives everything a minimum light level so there are no areas that are totally dark. Then I place lights in such a way as to give most areas a light level of .7 or .8. I've found that this method works well for making sure the light in a level isn't too dark or too bright. Hope this helps.
