Hey paulhummo-

Anytime you add, remove, or move a light in your level it will need to be rebuilt for the lighting to be updated properly. If you press the Build button in the editor it should clear the message from the screen. You can then repackage the updated version. If you have other questions about lighting, you can check out this guide:
