Interior Lighting Saturation

[donney86]

When creating interior renderings, each room requires a few sources of light at 100 watts with 100 lumens/watt. The lighting often ends up very bright but lacks enough saturation of light.

10,000 lumens is incredibly bright. Are you sure that's what you need?

My recommendation is to look at adjust the exposure of the render, rather than dramatically increasing the intensity of the light.

Attached is an example of a rendering at 10,000 lumens.

Do not increase light power, adjust exposure of the image. Increasing light power above what is realistic will slow the renderings and cause artifacts and the materials will not look correct.
