Killing the lights in the VAB/SPH?

Just checking if there's any way to douse the lights in the assembly buildings, to enable faster & more precise adjustment of lights without having to repeatedly launch, and then return to assembly to adjust and reposition lights.

You can't turn off the lights, but you can operate the craft lights within the editor and set them to a more easily noticed colour such as red or green.

That can help a lot with placement

Yep, tried that. For a while, I tried to have my space station run with the military style "tactical red lighting"; still spent the better part of about 30 minutes positioning the lights alone, while each modular piece only took about 4-5 minutes apiece.

I find the assembly building lighting is bright enough, most color changes don't have enough of an effect to truly see how well you've positioned and angled a light if you want it to cover a specific area.
