Check out this example:

Granted, they have the room really dark for dramatic effect, but the same sort of setup could be done with a better lit room or area. Take note of how the level looks without the lighting. Definite improvement with the light system turned on. It helps break up repetitive tiling patterns as well.

There's also this one:

In my opinion, this sort of system would improve Graal ten fold. However I doubt it would ever get implemented... people are still waiting for tile layers to be added.

I'm honestly surprised it hasn't been added. Graal is still using images for
lights... which is like ancient nowadays.

That's so cool
