I usually use Lighting from Bim Object to my Revit project but when I upgrade Revit 2018.3, I can't use BimObject Lighting correctly into Revit project. Please see my attach file that how look like in project. I am not sure what do I need to install. Thanks

Post the family you downloaded from BIMObject

 

...also, you need to explain what you mean by "not working correctly".  That could mean anything.

The black Lights and originals. The White one is from BimObject. When I try to put Lighting, Its not installed correctly.

Sounds like a hosting issue. Is that right? Post the Revit file that you created this screenshot from.

BIMObject lighting typically host by face or by workplane. So most likely you placed it accidentally on the roof.

If you run into that issue, I would simply create another lighting family with no host, then load the BIMobject family into the new family. Create small host object like box so you can host the object. Then Turn off the host object and load in your family. This is how I get around their shortcoming and save time instead of trying to figure out how to make it right.
