This particular light set, made in about five minutes worth of playing around, has fifty-seven different lights in it; sky lights, sun lights, bounces, fills, etc. With the EC interface you set the aspect of the lights you want to work with (color, intensity, etc), then using GUI buttons you can choose groups of lights by position (front lights, back lights, right-side lights) or by category (all bounces, all sun lights.) You can also refine your selection (ie, only bounce lights that are on the right side.) No more trying to figure out what "Light 57" does in your scene. The real strength of this app is that it will create the lighting setup for you based on your input, and then will allow you to control very large numbers of lights easily and efficiently to get a particular effect. (Here you can see where I was starting to experiment with radiosity, in the yellow reflected sculpting highlight under her chin.)
