I came across it last week and I'm really impressed with the results.
I installed GemFX and I'm loving the lighting effects. It gets rid of the orange-ish tones in vanilla ED and gives it more of a blue/cold tint.
Really makes space feel like a colder, harsher environment as well as adding some cool lens flare effects.
Uninstalling these mods is as simple as deleting the files you unzipped into your folder. From what I've read using these mods will not get you banned, they simply change the color/lighting a bit.
Don't use all 3, they are separate mods. Choose the one you like most based on the screenshots and play around with it to find out which one best suits you.
