Light dimming

[Kasuha]

I have constant problems with lights in KSP - either I don't see things in distance or they turn completely white when I come closer to them with the light.

My idea is to add key controls to light dimming with ability to (more or less) continuously regulate brightness of all lights on the ship at once from very low power (e.g. 10%) to full power. Five or ten steps would be completely sufficient I believe. It would be ideal if this parameter could be saved with the ship. When two ships with different settings dock together, one of them will win.

It might be also nice to automatically bring down light brightness (e.g. to 10%) if the object is in direct sunlight (i.e. not in the shadow of a planet). In real world, sun outshines vast majority of artificial lights. This could work independent on and in combination with the brightness setting above.

Sort of like a throttle for lights, that could be nice. I know what you mean about the insane whiteness those lights currently provide. They seem all right on planetary surfaces though. It mainly seems to happen when they hit parts.

Yeah sometimes I have trouble with this too. But generally if you build it in a certain way it will work fine.
