Sorry for the late response!
Anyways, what I meant by contrast of lighting was that in a single room I often times noticed that the brightness of lighting in the room felt very much the same a lot of the time. Dark parts were not really dark, and bright areas were not really that bright. It may have been owed to the overall layout of the maps that putting such a contrast in would not make sense based on where the light sources were, but in my opinion I think this can also be considered a flaw of the mapping.
When the lighting seems too similar across the board it can seem very bland, and uninteresting. With more contrast a room can really be spiced up because of the variety in lighting, and be very interesting to look at.
