    The detail nodes are where you put the LOD meshes for your object. The number is an indicator to the engine that when the object is this number of pixels across or smaller it should use this detail mesh.

    If you're searching the site, I'd suggest adding "Steve Acaster" to the search parameters - he had a post with a good hierarchy diagram and explanation somewhere in the last 6~12 months.
