      I have am having trouble making lights work in Raylectron. I can never quite get the effect I want and the brightness always seems too dim.

      Any tips, suggestions. caveats?

      Thanks.

        I have never tried it but just had a look at its manual. It seems has some simple options. My suggestion: start from a very simple scene and test different settings. It seems that light power works as a percentage of other lights and not individually. So one might set up an exterior/exterior standard setup for later use.

          Can you send me a screen shot of your settings and resultant lighting?

            L i am, thank you for the suggestions and help.

            However, I figured out my problem. Or should I say remembered. It's been so long since I last used Raylectron that I forgot something important about lighting...

            ...emitters cannot be grouped with anything. πŸ˜†

            Yep, that's all it was.

            I am somewhat embarrassed.

            Thanks again for responding and your help. I will be posting the updated renders of the living room and bedroom in the Gallery.
