Level lighting override volume

At the moment level lighting is static per level. Allowing volume override would allow for lots of cool new effects. Or increased performance when lighting large cavernous areas.

Currently I am using hundreds if not thousands of lights to light up tons of rooms when it would be no different to just have a higher ambient lighting just for this area. The game spends 90% of the frame rendering lights only getting 50fps.

This would be a great addition for more effects and performance! If not for all settings even just different ambiance without forcing fog would be amazing.

Agreed this would be a useful improvement. I think a logical extension of ambiance volumes would be to replace the "no lighting" setting with control of the level lighting, and convert existing "no lighting" volumes to pitch-black lighting.
