   With arches preset that is using atmosphere sky type.
   aframe-environment-component 1.3.7 / A-Frame 1.6.0 with no additional lights
   

   aframe-environment-component 1.5.0 / A-Frame 1.7.0 with no additional lights
   

   so that component alone work as intended.

   You may see a difference in your scene if you already had renderer="physicallyCorrectLights: true;" and an additional light in your scene like it was the case in networked-aframe examples
   aframe-environment-component 1.3.7 / A-Frame 1.6.0 with renderer="physicallyCorrectLights: true;" and <a-entity light="type:ambient;intensity:1.0"></a-entity>
   

   If you had that above configuration, with aframe-environment-component 1.5.0 / A-Frame 1.7.0 you can remove renderer="physicallyCorrectLights: true;" that is the default in A-Frame 1.7.0 and you need to adapt your own lights, divide by 3.14 so <a-entity light="type:ambient;intensity:0.32"></a-entity>

   Thank you, using <a-entity light="type:ambient;intensity:0.32"></a-entity> and increasing the intensity made it look like it did before. I didn't use the renderer in my code, I only used the environment component and nothing else.

   This is what it looks like for me with this code:

   <a-entity
           environment="preset: forest; ground: flat; groundTexture: walkernoise; skyType: atmosphere; groundColor: #4a6741;"
   ></a-entity>
   

   aframe-environment-component 1.3.7 and A-Frame 1.6.0 with no additional lights
   

   aframe-environment-component 1.5.0 and A-Frame 1.7.0 with no additional lights

   If you didn't use renderer="physicallyCorrectLights: true;" in A-Frame 1.6.0 and you had additional lights, then you need to multiply the intensity by 3.14 on your additional lights.

   I have your second screenshot on both aframe-environment-component 1.3.7 / A-Frame 1.6.0 and aframe-environment-component 1.5.0 / A-Frame 1.7.0

   My comment about dividing by 3.14 the ambient light when switching to A-Frame 1.7.0 and with renderer="physicallyCorrectLights: true;" previously in A-Frame 1.6.0 was specific to the usage we did in the networked-aframe examples to have a bit more light and because the ambient light included with environment component was multiplied by 3.14 between 1.3.7 and 1.5.0, I had to decrease the intensity of the additional light. Anyway I even removed the additional ambient light in networked-aframe/networked-aframe#496
