Light missing from render

[Anonymous]

Is there any trick to fixing a light (brought in from bim object) that isn't sowing in the render?

I tried 2 different recessed and neither show. But the pendants I put in do show.

same happening in another view.

The only light being seen in this view is emitted from the "Lighting_flexalighting_Baba Q2" Families.  NO other Lighting Families are turned on in the Rendering.  

Interior:Artificial Only Draft Rendering:

FWIW: Same scene and settings, except the Lights Fixtures' "Ring" Material is Self-Illuminating.  Keep in mind, Self-Illumination Material doesn't emit light. It only gives the appearance of "glowing".

Do I need to turn on other families ? Switch the setting to artificial only?

That's up to you. But, I'm Rendering Artificial Only because I'm testing the light fixtures trying to troubleshoot your issue. Right now, I don't see one.  What Views were not Rendering the "Lighting_flexalighting_Baba Q2" Light Fixtures?

I just don't understand how you have the "ring" or self illumination showing. When I try I don't see it, every view with lights has the same exact issue.

You got a sh*t-load of views!  Name some Views for me.

I think there are some lights in the work area views 14th floor and meeting pod view. (A lot of the model is messed up sorry, been trying to learn this program on my own) Thanks for your help

Well, there you have it! Problem solved! Hallelujah! 

The "Lighting_flexalighting_Baba Q2" Lighting Fixtures are not Rendering in those Views because none are in those Views.

Okay, so what's the issue?  I don't see it.  Are you talking about Self-Illumination not showing? Try a different "Luminance" settings.

That's it ! Thank you. The problem was the black renders at first, but redoing the view solved that then the lights weren't showing like that but thats the solution thank you SO MUCH
