you have to look in the lightentity keys:

- apearance
flickering or dimming lights can be set with the many settings in this key
- Brightness
the first 3 numbers here are the color, use pick color to select the color.
The last one is the brightness of the light rangeing from 0 (no light) to 255 (maximum light).

if this is what you mean (hammer editer settings btw) <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

This doesn't have a maximum of 255. The colour values do, but I don't know what the maximum is for brightness/intensity, or if there even is one. I have one light with an intensity value of 6000.

heh your right <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> just tested it Ah well I always use 255 as maximum for light, the 1 bounce in RAD does weird stuff at such a high value

QuArK give 300 by default for intensity, but i've no idea if it's the maximum

Technically the maximum intensity value the compiler will handle is ~1,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 if your color values are between 1 and 255... your rooms WILL appear fullbright if you use this value, though <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

Internally the color is a vec3_t, which is an array of three floats. The color values are multiplied by the intensity when the light parameters are read from the entity. There isn't actually a cap of 255 on the color values; the range from 0-255 happens to be used for the actual amount of each color on walls because it's being stored as an unsigned byte. Editors may artificially restrict the numbers.
