check for light emitting shaders ?

also pull up your entity window to see if you have overbright on ?

I don't know the real cause but I think it's a problem with the lightmaps. This sometimes happens when you've compiled the map with -fast light and only use ambientlight. Or when the map has a leak.
Try adding at least some light source by setting suncolor in the worldspawn; if you want to keep the map dark then use low values (e.g. suncolor "8 8 10").
If that doesn't help try placing some light-entities in the bunker.
