Summary
In the editor, Distance field lighting and other other lighting settings don’t work for meshes(Changing the settings shows no visual change to a mesh). Lighting for meshes dont look right and are either darker or brighter than they’re supposed to be. Interiors of buildings look darker than usual in editor, but look normal in a session. Basically, the only way to get a proper look at your map visually when using distance field lighting, is to launch a session, as lots of meshes don’t look right in the editor.

Additional Notes
As you can see in the “after” pic, the trees, bushes, and overall lighting look darker than it does in the “before” pic, which is how it looks in a session.
