There are thousands of ways to use light in game.  These prefabs are intended only as a starting point.  While they'll be useful for a new mapper to quickly set up lighting in a map, you will most likely want to change the brightness and/or colour of the lights.  All of the lights are off-white (some closer to white than others) and brightness has been set based on what looked most dramatic, interesting, or distinctive in a pitch black room.  With more lights in a single room, you may also want to delete the excessive light entities used for ambience.


FOOTNOTE:  To improve the look of lights mounted on walls, use the d.e.a.d/offseclight texture as an overlay.
