This is basically a dynamic lights test map where everything is lighted by dynamic lights and may show you how to use them better.
Dynamic lights showcased in this map:
Coloured lighting
Animated lighting
Additive and subtractive lighting

This is pretty cool, I could imagine seeing DOOM.WAD episode 1 being lit somewhat dark if using dynamic lights for brightness..

This looks great. Why don't we do this more often?

Because dynamic lights tend to be a major drain on one's framerate, even when they're not the primary light source.

Yeah, but it just looks nice for those who have machines that can manage it.

Like Chronoseth said it lags for people who have low end machines espicaly if its used all over the place. I have in the works a map with gameplay thats lit entirely by dynamic lights, but I put it on hold until I get a better machine
