This is intentional. I would play with it on and report any issues as this will be the default eventually.
There's our feedback request!

For my part, in outdoor zones the light sources are working quite nicely from a functionality standpoint. This is a positive and critical change as formerly there were many areas where light sources worked only poorly or not at all. Most players were probably oblivious to this since apparently most folks run at high gamma (I do not).

It might be a little overdone. Parts of indoor zones like velketor and thurgadin are so bright it gave the wife a migraine last night. Very weak light sources like Coldlight are poviding ample light to use as a regular-use lightsource. I caution that it does not need to be dialed back very much--don't overdo it!

There is a noticeable framerate hit attached to the lighting. This might be unavoidable but I figured I'd mention it in case optimization is possible.

I'm happy to work with you if you want specific types of lights or zones tested. getting better-working lights has been on my own personal "gripe list" for a loooong time so I'm happy to see progress on that front.
