[2020] Using multiple graphics mods

It depends on the mod. The 3 you mention work just fine together, however as explained in the description (and/or screenshots) of Relight, there are certain settings for Daylight Classic, which shouldn't be used, when you have Relight.

This is why it's so important to read mod descriptions, as they not only mention direct conflicts, but also explain what things you should be aware of. :)

As a general rule of thumb, you should never have 2 of the same mod - for example there are 2 different Post Process mods, which you should never use together.

And then there's the incompatibility tab of the google spreadsheet of broken mods.

I would suggest just picking one. A setting like "Use classic LUTs" in Daylight Classic becomes totally pointless if you're using a Relight LUT, or an Ultimate Eyecandy preset that includes one.

So if you installed something like the Satellite LUT does that already have all the parameters these mods control covered? (Assuming I'm not trying to tweak them further)

No, LUTs are much much simpler. LUT is short for Lookup Table and is just an image with different colors, that the game compares to the default look of the game. It then uses the differences to change things like saturation, hue, brightness and contrast.

Both Daylight Classic and Relight change the game's lighting, which is a different approach to get a different look. Ultimate Eyecandy lets you move the sun around and change the lighting intensity. I recommend checking out the workshop pages of each of the mods to get a better sense of what they do. They have descriptions and screenshots that explain it much better than I can do here. :)
