its because the 3d view in wed has its own ligthning, some kind of "standard-lightning", right click on the 3d view in wed and click on GXL -> GXL Properties and check "Level Lighting" and set the Default Sun/Ambeint bars to 0%.
Now what you see is how the lightning in the WED is the same as in your level.
