problem with dark renders - interior artificial lighting not working

[Anonymous]

HI GUYS, 

Please could someone who knows how to handle light fixtures help me. 

THE PROBLEM:

The interior artificial lighting in my model wont show up when I render.  

There´s just darkness. EVERYWHERE. 

the render setting seem to be alright

so does the light fixture itself

placement of lineal light fixtures hidden in drop ceiling and one isolated light fixture floating below ceiling.

none are covered by any elements

WHAT DO I WANT:

To get decent renders with artificial light fixtures hassle free

thanks thanks !

Can you share the Light family?

something blocking the light source is my guess. Where is it in relationship to the model (to the ceiling)?

The lineal lights are placed in the perimeter of the ceiling.

I´ve made sure not to have any elements block the light source.

To make sure it wasn´t the placement of the latter, I placed an independent lamp which is floating below the ceiling.

Actually, I inserted your fixture as is and the light seems to work.

Thanks for checking, I don´t know what seemed to have been the problem in my project. 

I started it fresh and now it seems to work.
