Default lighting is provided by a set of distant lights that follow the view
direction. When default lighting is on, the sun and other lights do not cast
light, even if they are turned on. The setting of this system variable is
viewport-specific.
Default lighting is automatically turned off when point
lights, spotlights, distant lights, or the sun are on

The default lighting provided in AutoCAD 2006 and earlier releases used one
distant light. The new default lighting uses two distant lights to illuminate
more of the model and also adjusts ambient light. The setting of this system
variable is viewport-specific.
