Pre-made Light Settings?
Could anyone please set up some pre-made lights for maps for the different themes?
I could probably get some maps going, but the only thing I can't seem to get working properly is the lighting.
I will give credit to anyone who can do this...
Or if someone could make a guide for setting up lighting for the various themes (step by step would be nice) that would work too.
Portal 2 already has "pre-made lights." They're located in the instances/lights folder.
Also the instances/labs folder for observation rooms.

Are they actual instances or do I have a lot of individual settings on each instance for a particular theme?
They're an instance with a pre-configured light entity as well as a model. There's a few BTS lights, clean-style glass lights as well as old aperture lamps and spotlights. The /labs folder has a bunch of observation room instances with pre-configured lights inside.

No individual settings. But if you want some, just add some light_spots to those (since most of the wall-lights are relatively dark).
I'm not sure how to use the instances to make different lighting.
There's a lot of info on the mapping wiki yes, but it doesn't really have many tutorials on how to set up the lighting/instances etc.
It basically just says 'here's the instance name, here's how to use it' :/
I would really appreciate it if someone made some video tutorials on the following.
1: How to set up a room with nothing in it aside what is needed for certain kinds of lighting.
2: How to make the lighting for the various themes. (Underground, Wheatly, Clean, Overgown...)
I feel like if I can learn that, everything else will be easier to learn.
This is for basic lighting. I'm not sure where there is something more specific, but there's not much difference on how to do it with different themes.
