Lighting - It's pain in the asre.

Hi I'm new to mapping. I have created an indoor map but find it a pain putting in several light entities. Is there a single command to light the whole map?

Just highlight a brush and hit N, deselect brush...thats just to pull up worldspawn and put in these values:
ambientlight \ 30 30 30

thats it, play with the values for different lighting.
