Global/Indirect Lighting for Large Procedurally Generated Buildings
I do my urban interior lighting in 2D layers. It's pretty similar to what Penumbra does but on a floor-by-floor basis with minor extras to change extrusion based on azimuth. Alongside the light-color I LOGIC_OP_OR a light ID bit into a RGBA32_UINT target (so 1 target per 128 lights) so that I can do a Drobot style light bucket walk (slide 15).

I made a simple Z-lighting prototype for a top-down project
As for explanation - it's based on Penumbra which I use for a while. Penumbra on its own doesn't have Z-parameter and hulls/objects are either "illuminated" or "solid" (dark) depending on the light setting.
