No lights in light tool dialog

[aldob]

Hi all
I just installed new 2.5 version (SU 2016) And have no lights when I open the Light tool.
What's happen? Did anyone have the same issue?

You need to choose a light from the menu 'Lights' or add a new light with the light tool (which is automatically active when you activate the editor). The light editor has always worked that way but if you have a light already selected in your SU scene, that light will be displayed in the editor, so it's easy to miss.

Thanks!
Sorry I later found out by myself and wanted to delete my post. Just didn't touch twilight for a while and forgot how to set the lights

I have the same problem, but when I choose "lights", the fly-out just say "none" and the toolbar only contains 5x icons: Render, Environment, Create light, Template materials and scene view. The tutorials I've seen show a toolbox with different light types as well.
What am I doing wrong and how can it be fixed?

The tutorial here explains how to edit lights:

The problem for most users is they miss the part where you click in the scene (3 times) to create a light, before you can edit the light in the editor.

Hi there,
I have same problem. I'm using hobby version of twilight since 2 years. It is in my laptop and desktop too. This week "light options" screen disappear suddenly from both desktop and laptop. I uninstalled twilight and installed again. i tried so many way. But it isnt working. By the way twilight rendering and material editor are working correctly. Thanks for your interest

This issue is almost always because you don't have a light selected to edit.

no, not like that. usually; Before rendering i define the materials and adding lights. This is my ordinary way. But now i cant add light. When opening the light box, box is empty. There is no light option. I know using that dialog box. but now it is empty.

can you use screen-to-gif and record this problem and post so we can see it demonstrated please? We are not sure we are understanding. If this were happening to a lot of people we would imagine it would be reported more often. If there's a bug we want to fix it. Thanks for your help.

you can post a gif here as attachment
