Here is a list of different places to go. That will help you tweek the RealisticLighting.ini file
like you want and find better balanced effects. Those places are really differents from one to
another (colors, lights...) :
Interiors :

- The Winking Skeever (Solitude) => red ambiant lights
Dungeons :
- Embershard mine (west of Riverwood) => red / blue ambiant lights
- Forelhost Stronghold (south east of the map near Riften) => red / yellow ambiant lights
- Silverdrift Lair (north from Whiterun or any nord ruin) => pale yellow ambiant lights
- Tolvald's Cave (eastern part of the map...or any falmers' cave) => pale / blue ambiant lights
Landscapes (Day / Night / Dawn / Dusk) :
- Whiterun
- Riverwood
- Weynon Stone (north of Whiterun) => brighter ambiant lights (snow)
- Solitude (near Katla's Farm or the boats) => best for dawns
Nights - you MUST test... :
- clear sky nights
- clear sky nights with aurora
- cloudy nights
- cloudy nights with aurora
- Storm nights (darker and cloudier)
Days - you MUST test... :
