Currently, basic TSE has the ability to light from the sun, and nothing else.
There's a small tweak where you can setup the lightmanager and get lighting from other local lights as well, or you can integrate the lighting pack yourself.

Next milestone is a bunch of lighting solutions, incidentally.

You will need knoweldge of the TSE renderer changes from TGE to TSE. Then you will need to implement the base lighting in TGE into TSE. Then you will need to make the necessary modifications for the TKL.

It's not a simple 1...2...3 setup. Well, it might be, but since I've never done it, I'll err on the side of difficulty.

There's a lot that would need to be done that I am assuming would later become obsolete and a waste of time by the next milestone as Ben has stated.

You should check the TSE bounties if you want to add something to TSE that wont' become obsolete and you might get a bit of pay off.
