A YouTuber has conducted a detailed comparison between the MegaLights version and the software Lumen and hardware Lumen versions. The results show that the MegaLights version has up to a 50% performance improvement and significantly increases frame rate performance without compromising image quality. This makes it one of the most important new features in UE5.5 and provides game development with more efficient tools.
