Iray-Visibility of the light source

calaopie

Is it possible that the light source(plane,sphere) in iray, was invisible but still emits light? Such a thing was possible in the light 3d render and whether it is possible iray?

For actual lights, Render Emitter will make the light invisible to direct view (but not to relfections). For emissive surfaces you can lower the Cutout Opacity in the Surfaces pane to a very small value like 0.0001 - this is how the Ghost Light set works.
