Santicruyff released a stadium lighting mod for 2k19 (viewtopic.php?f=241&t=106460) where he edited the Stadium PostFx Luminosity value (luminosity range) so that the stadium lighting have a more realistic hue. I used his stadium PostFx files as a base and ported them to 2k18. Mostly bringing the brightness down to acceptable levels. (A direct conversion resulted in very bad lighting. some small edits had to be made.)
Now, for the 2k18 mod:
Based on Santicruyff 2k19 Lighting Mod (link) I have adjusted the stadium lighting for all 30 current nba teams. I haven't adjusted the floor texture (fxx.iff) and i haven't adjusted the stadium floor lightmap files (sxx_floor_lightmap.iff). Just for full disclosure Mostly due to time constraints. But the lighting still looks very nice.

**** Note**** Stadium file will work with any floor file and any stadium floor lightmap file. Can use any floor file with the stadium files from this mod. if that makes sense. So, if you don't like the Hornets Court or the Kings Court, just use a different floor file from your favorite modder.
