--[[ LightingChange by RedAce (thanks quat)
							INSTRUCTIONS

Put a part entirely covering the area you want changed with a part in the Areas folder
Create a new table in the same name as the part, and put in your new lighting values. Make sure to follow the same format as the arrays shown
If you have lighting effects, make a folder with the same name as the part and put in your lighting effects, including those that arent changing

Make sure your default lighting is set up in the Default folder and table. Do not delete the Default folder and table.

You can have as many parts as you want as long as they are named correctly, and as many areas as you want as long as they are set up correctly.
