  • Enable plugin in Project > Project Settings... > Plugins > LightToggle2D
  • Use the Lights button in toolbar for 2D scenes.

Before: screenshot of editor in scene with lights After: screenshot with lights turned off by light toggle

Known limitations

  • LightToggle2D works only on PointLight2D and DirectionalLight2D, CanvasModulate is not supported.
  • Modifying lights when lights are toggled off can cause strange effects. This is harmless, and can be fixed by toggling lights on and off (besides, who adjusts light nodes when they are not visible? ^^).
  • Plugin has not been tested thoroughly, use at your own risk (and make backups)!
