If you just use that ambient for initial construction or debuging, you 
can use this command line option: +q0

This will set quality to zero and light everything with full ambient, 
ignoring any and all light_source and any defined finish for all textures.

Under Windows, the command line is the test box next to the resolutions 
chooser above the editor's area.
