Lights on, Lights off

Is it possible to be able to turn off all the dynamic lighting (e.g. torches, light sources) in a page at once rather than having to go through all the tokens individually and make them either visible or invisible to the players across the map. Being able to do a "lights out" scenario on the fly would be a great boon.
might I recomend shift+click (or is it ctrl+click? I do it so instinctually I don't remember the name on the key)

As a work around you could try the reset fog with the Fog of War. It will ask you to confirm it but it hides everything. It takes 3 clicks. two of them is to select the action and the third is to confirm it.
Hmm I've tried what you have said, using the fog of war, however it doesn't affect the dynamic lighting and just leaves me with a black screen for the players. Shift clicking does allow you to select multiple light sources however you cannot edit the light sources to be visible to all players that way. What I want to be able to do is turn off all the light sources in the map in one go on the dynamic lighting layer at once.

Sorry then I don't know what else to suggest.

If you multi-select the light sources you should be able to move them all to the GM layer where they will no longer cast their light.
Hmm that's not a bad idea. I'll try that out later to see how effective that is. Thank you too everyone that has replied.

One thing you can do is group a your light sources and then you can move them all to the GM layer at once.  - Gauss

I thought someone was working on an api script for turning lights on and off.

Wardonis, you can move them to the DL layer by copying and pasting the tokens on the DL layer. Then delete the originals.  - Gauss
