The answer is it depends. If you are heavily using stencilling, then your application may become fill rate limited. Doing a texture lookup on a light map can slow down your fragment/vertex shaders, also making your application fill rate limited. Generally though, light maps are more efficient, as they don’t involve extra passes like most stencilling effects do. Moral of the story is, only bench marking will accuratly tell you what is more efficient.
