    Default Feeling dumb - I can't get my lights turned on

    I have moved the light object down below the canned light. I have increased the light wattage. I have artificial lights on. I have grouped them and selected them. Not dimmed.
    Set to interior not exterior.
    What am I missing?

    Have you tried the light switch? (just kidding!)

    I'm not too savvy with rendering, but have you made sure that the Lighting Fixtures Category is turned on? if the light fixtures are not visible, then I believe their light source won't appear in the rendering.

    Dang! That "DING DING DING" was misleading - I thought I won!

    What happens when you render with "Interior: Artificial only" and exclude the sun?
