Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with you, it is dark where they wanted it to
be.

 Pop (Mark) posted about using a command in-game:  testLight

I tried it and the results were fun.  Partly because they weren't
permanent!  Just exit game and restart.

THAT (fwiw) completely eliminated ALL of that dark space in whatever
direction I was looking and for as far as my view in the game went
distance-wise.  And that lit area will stay lit too, even if you leave
and then come back.   I see no way to turn if OFF, do you?  Can that be
made a toggle?   To me, it also looks LESS real lit up than it does with
iD's selected dark areas.  Pop was right too, use with care, I bound a
key to that command [bind l "testLight], hit it a couple times, "Ah, it
cycles!"  So, after about 20 taps, everything is washed out within view,
nearly all white and it didn't cycle off :)  AND, frame rate dropped it
to a slideshow in that area :)  Yep, use with care!
