Well it would be worthy if i spent some lighting time.

Lighting is actually very important, just ask the l4d crew

Tis, its just so damn time consuming and pointless.

I supose it will look good in the end

Pointless -and- important? D:

I learned, that lightning is one of the most important things in the visual design of your map. Not only can you break long walls with spotlights, but you can also affect the gameplay with lightning. Think of a small corner which isn't well lit. A spy/scout could hide there and backcap if he has the chance.

Yes, lightning is hard to build and time consuming, but it is so damn important...

Indeed, imagine totally random deaths you cannot prevent. ZAP! and you're toast. Perhaps this will be introduced in the next update..?
BLU Lightning Machine! Oh boy, just imagine that. </idea day, sorry about that.>

In all seriousness though, lighting is important. Play around with the light sources if you can.
