To quote myself from an abandoned thread:
The new 'glow,' from my experience building stuff in Second Life, is specular mapping (reflective surfaces, based on normal/bump maps). And they waaaaaaaay overdid it. Like the transporter shaft, or the floor/walls towards to where the Fleet bank is. They really need to tone it down significantly.
Seriously, it's awful. The entire fleet base is shrouded in a kind of blue mist, where you see lightsources in every surface. And the Dilithium mine has gone full-blown purple.
In Second Life, when they first introduced specular lighting, builders severely overdid it too, just because it was there. But it really ought to be applied rather subtely; and then it's gorgeous. But in STO they totally went overboard with it. It's even on your boffs, for crying out-loud!
So, yeah, please, can it be toned down significantly!?

That was actually a very good tip!

I just turned bloom to 'low' (instead of 'high'), but I saw no visible difference.
Yes, it can cause few other things seem "less pretty" and one room in K-13 looks completely white, but other than that, I have decided that for me, 1.0 is better and i need yet to wait for improvements to 2.0 before using it.

As mentioned above, and by @tacofangs on his thread, you would have to turn off the 2.0 system to fix the some issues.
This guy knows!
