Once you have the patch installed, edit the desktop icon from which you load the game, so the Target line reads :

C:\{where your W&W directory is}\deep6.exe -LIGHT=16

Light=16 makes it really lighter
Light=8 is average
Light=0 no change

NOTE: if you use these switches, you have to load the game with the desktop icon and not the autorun to see the difference

Here's the actual text from the readme:

For those experiencing DARK DUNGEONS in D3D mode, we have installed a command line parameter which you may add to the command line under properties of the W&W desktop icon: -LIGHT=n where n is a number between 0 and 16. Using the –LIGHT=n option with any number will automatically turn on a new monster brightness feature which makes the monsters much brighter when standing near a light source. The “n” value will increase the overall brightness of the environment, 0 being none and 16 being the most. You may still use the GAMMA control on your CONFIG PAGE to help increase the overall brightness of the game, in addition to the –LIGHT=n option.

Example Command Line: deep6.exe –LIGHT=8

This will increase the overall ambient scene lighting by a increment of 25%. Note that this parameter only works in D3D mode, and is not supported when running in software mode.
