Hello! I have been having the same issue in all my projects for a couple weeks now. My lighting families have all become extremely dim. Doesn't matter which project I'm working in, so its not a settings issue within the project. Nothing changes when I go into the lighting family and change the parameters such as intensity or wattage.
I have set up a quick example so you can see what I'm talking about.
Photo 1 is a room that is 15'-4" x 19'-4" I have placed 18 of the Revit stock family "Downlight Recessed Can- 6" Incandescent 277v" the family has not been messed with so it should still have all of the same default properties
(60 W/ 14.25 lm, Light Loss Factor 1, and 2800 K)
Photo 2 is the same room, same amount of lights, but I changed with wattage to 150 W and 50 lm. The room looks exactly the same. I even renamed the family and replaced all the lights.
It doesn't matter what lighting family I use (from BIM Object or Revit), the intensity is always the same, no matter the project I'm working in, and no matter the family. Here's a third example using 15 of the default Revit family "Ceiling Light- Flat Round 60 W- 120 V"
At this point I think my best bet is to uninstall Revit and reinstall it again? I'm not really sure where to even start in fixing this issue. It wasn't always like this. Now rendering is next to impossible. Any help is appreciated!!

You know what I bet? The diffuser Material is Self-Illuminating, and you are confusing that Material Property with Light. There is no correlation between the two.

Accepted solution
No Rendering issues here and the light fixtures respond appropriately to different Photometric values.
Maybe try different exposure settings...
