    Mesh lights by nature are hard to get right because they don't behave like a bulb.

    Try an IES light if your render app supports it.

    IES-Library: Browse

    Less messing around with values and much richer and accurate lighting.

    Still use emission but only to fake a glow effect not to flood space with light.

      Nice design and render! πŸ‘

      Once you sort out the light color, it will be perfect!

        Thanks folks, Rich I'll give the ies a go. I had tons of them at one time, guess I'll just have to rebuild the collection.

        I altered the light/emissive colour which reduced the reflection. To get the lighter render popular I need to push up exposure which leaves a little 'misty' overtone' I am not fond of.

        It does keep me off the streets etc and it's a bit parky out there now.

          Just a suggestion, but I would I would increase the camera exposure just a bit.

            Thanks Bryan, standard exposure on Twiglet render is 1:00 and I have already pushed this to 6:00. Looking to the ies shot later today.

                    Well, as they said on Ground Force, day one. I used an ies ligit and had to put my welding goggles on to enter the living room.

                    Much more than meets the mark one's with this here ies lark but I will let you know how I get on folks.

                      Well, I have knocked the lights back to 70% of nominal value. I have left the original light sources as fake emitters.

                      I have found that the result is brighter and takes up to half the render time so these ies things are worth sticking with.

                      The only problem I still have is a format of classification so I can properly choose which files to go with.

                        This is TwiLight Render you are using?

                        If you Right Click your light and choose set target what way is it facing?

                          I have Twilight, yes. I did check orientation too but still the bounce on the ceiling. The light in particular has an odd shape to the light component which is going to change when I go to the next test to have a more consistent orientation.

                                    OK, I was going to stop but I left this while I fed and communed with T' Badgers. I just changed the ies lights physical shape which lends a little depth to the ceiling. Honest guv'.......

                                        My taste is slightly brighter and more grayish.
