I'm working on a dark level and have a WorldEnvironment added to the scene that reflects this. It works fine while running the game, but while editing the scene I find it almost impossible to work now because I can not find a way to temporarily disable or ignore the lack of ambient light in the editor.

I would expect a visibility toggle next to the node or another such simple solution, but it is escaping me.

In the 3D viewport's Perspective menu, choose View Environment to make the 3D viewport ignore the WorldEnvironment. It will use the default clear color instead (which also adds some of its own ambient light). To remove this ambient light entirely, try setting the default clear color to pure black in the Project Settings.
