Hello
Is it normal to have multiplier in photometric lights set to 50000/100000% in order to have decent light power ?
Am i doing something wrong ?

Yeah
You're doing something wrong
1 should be enough Smile

I dunno how you did it though
Stick in another light
Unless you made an absurdly big room
What are the dimensions

Im trying to illuminate a 4m x 4m x 4m empty room
So no absurd dimensions...
What else could have mistaken ?

In units
No-one ever works with meters in max
Thats for CAD
Razz

Another "big" problem ... this lights doesnt illuminate the viewport...its all black
I tryed turning on default lights in viewport configuration but it didn't work

No1 works in meters in max ?
Course they do
Anyways, it would seem its a units issue
Check it all correct

Yes it was not meters i'm stupid sorry :)

Metric 4tw
Infidel
You ought to stick to IMPERIAL

I do for the most part
Hehe
Depends if im using something built to metric or imperial I guess

No
It depends on whether you're a true englishman or not.

Hehe
Yea i guess it does
