Does this happen at all areas or only one or two, and are you wearing a facelight? The new lighting system called "deferred rendering" or "lighting and shadows" shows lighting more accurately than the old system but with the problem that in areas where builders put in a lot of bright lights to have things look better under the old system everything can be too bright. Also, many facelights, especially ones with multiple lit objects, become very bright. If you're at an area you have control over start getting rid of lights or turning them down, and if you're wearing a facelight take it off and see if it helps. If you go into "Preferences" - "Graphics" and turn off "Lighitng and Shadows" you'll see things the old way but if the problem is too many light sources at your area things will look just as bad to others.
