So does anyone know how? I really need to know.

Well, you could just put a lot of regular light entites... but it would be hard to get a uniform lighting on all the surfaces... normally you'd try the 'realist' approach (but I can tell it's just a test map) and put light fixture props and add light entities under them.

How do i do that in Hammer? What entity?

The lights have quadratic linear and constant sections, put a 1 in the one you wanna try, and 0 in the other two, im not sure it will create the full bright effect your after, but it does change the lights in interesting ways, I always thought there was a minimum light level setting on map properties, but i guess it only works on func_walls etc.

It's a server command. When you compile a map without lights, you client will detect that and when you're loading the map it'll say 'map not light, mat_fullbright set to 1.' If your map does have lights, but you want every surface to be totally bright, just type mat_fullbright 1 in console.
