I assume you mean objects that light things up, rather than environmental lighting (e.g., the sun and the moon)? You can buy lights on the Marketplace, but they are very easy to make yourself. You'll find all the information you need here: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindal Kidd Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I'm going to guess the opposite, and assume that @windinfacemeans environmental lighting. 1. Up at the top of your viewer, click the World menu to expand it 2. Hover over the Environment entry to expand it. 3. Select the time of day you like, Sunrise, Mid-day, Sunset, or Midnight. You can also use the keyboard shortcuts CTRL+SHIFT+U, Y, N, or X, respectively. To return to the shared group environment and see the world as others around you are seeing it, click the Use Shared Environment entry. You can also make much more detailed changes of your environment, including the look of the sky, the day/night cycle, fog, and water in this part of the menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arduenn Schwartzman Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Depending on what you actually mean with 'lighting', and assuming it wasn't any of the above, my next guess would be this: you'll find it in Preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 In addition to turning on the settings mentioned above, you can go into your personal lighting to set up EEP lighting (environment enhancement project formerly windlight). From personal lighting, you can go into both 'ambient' and 'sun color' to change the two primary light sources in your world. Ambient controls the overall environment light. In the color picker window you select the color of the light and at the very right side you pick the brightness of that color. Play with those settings to find something you like. I prefer to pick a gray neutral color and select lighter grays for a bright day or darker grays for a gloomier day. The other setting is Sun Color which controls light from the SL sun/moon. The sun's light creates additional highlight and shadow on your avatar. It also casts shadows on the world around you if you have shadows enabled. You can also turn off the sun's light by setting it to black which I have done. This makes an avatar with very even shadow-less lighting. The sun's location in the sky can also be changed here which will affect how shadows appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odaks Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 @windinface - please confirm what you meant. Environmental lighting, local lights or.... what? Maybe everyone can stop wildly guessing if you do. If you need help to understand the difference, just ask! We'll do our best to help when we know. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They posed 4 questions yesterday and have responded to none. One wonders if they will ever return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arduenn Schwartzman Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Maybe it was a (double) typo and they meant 'lightning'? https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Lightning-strike/10381593 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
