In the eqp files, use Notepad++ or similar (such as 010 Editor payware). Do a Search on "NodeName=L01", and the line below it will be "LinkName=LightName" (whatever it might be). Change the LightName to read "NULL" instead. Then search on the L02 nodename, then L03, L04, 5 & 6, etc., replacing all of their "LightName" with NULL. It will take a while though. If you are familiar with scripting, 010 Editor offers a quick way, but for me, that usually means a quicker way to mess things up...

- you could also try some iterative VBA programming in MS or Libre Office apps.
