suppose you want to make a room in your world dark, but don't want to make
all the special objects with lower light settings for the room? It would
be handy to have a build command that would project a darkness upon the
room, but which can be over ridden by the light command.

Ah, like light absorbsion? (Although if absorbed, it means it cannot be
overridden)

create light type=absorb

We use to have a negative brightness command but it was removed during beta.
I think a better method would be to adjust the refraction properties of an
object.

create refract=-.5 would be -.5 from the current value.

What's wrong with create light color=black etc?

Colored light can only add color to whats already there...Hence you can't
have dark red for example, or any dark colors.
Negative brightness was removed because AWI said that wasn't an intentional
renderware feature and it wouldn't work in future renderware versions, so
there was no point in adding it.
