outside. make a light_spot and set it to "as sky".

Or use light_environment.

make a light_environment, but make sure the outside of the map (the part that touches the void) is a sky texture, or else the light_environment wont work. That was a problem for me in my earlier time in mapping

to make 1 really bright set the last number(255 255 255 [u]000[/u]) so something high, i think
