      Are your lights emissive planes or actual lights?

        They are emissive, I have adjusted the colour of the lights and the orange is gone. The rest will take some figuring out.

          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.

          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.

                Oh there you go! πŸ‘

                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'.......
