    Do you have a can light that renders that you could share?
    My frustration is building here.

    Just created this real quick... It looks like there are lights in the can light now...but I would need to tweak it some for the colors to match...

    I must have something set wrong but I did finally get it working. I made a view template in your file and transferred it to mine.

    Is the can light cutting the ceiling host? If you hide the can light, is there a hole in the ceiling? Maybe the can light family is broken?

    It came out of the Library and I did not do any adjustments to it. At least not until I realized that I could not get it to show up as the default fixture.

    The one I created was out of the library too....all I did was apply the lighted material to it...
