I agree. While it's nice to be able to purchase so many cool things that are ready right out of the box, it's also a good idea to use them as examples. You can learn a LOT about lighting by tearing light sets apart and looking at the settings they used. Or moving a light to see what it does, or changing the start and end angles or the brightness. Or even changing the colors. It's a very hard thing to anticipate what people would like. And because the assumption is that the majority of users really don't want to reproduce a render exactly, that you show what can be done with the texture itself. Lighting is a major factor in the end result of a render ... however, if you change a pose, or change a camera angle, the lighting will have to be changed anyway. So if we take a look at the lighting you have set up, we might be able to offer suggestions. And the first suggestion would be to use lights that are all white or a shade of gray. That rules out color influence from the light set.
