Lights won't work

I got a new problem tonight. None of my lights will work. My Spotlight and Pinpoint light can be added but they won't brighten. They're dead. Any ideas out there?

    Check your Envrionemnt Mode under the Render Settings tab.

    Dome only and sun-sky will not allow any lights to work, other than emissive surfaces.

    That is assuming you are in Iray, there really isn't enough information in your post to reply with confidence.

    Sorry for the lack of info. Didn't realize I needed more. But yesterday I did discovered the limitation the DrukMoney said. I was trying to do just what the drunkard said. Thanks for the clarification on this.

    Have a great day and a fun 4th.

    Glad to be of help.

    That setting has bit me in the butt more times than i care to count. Because of that, it's become part of my workflow to check the render settings after i load certain things, such as architecture or render presets.

     

    Have a safe 4th.
