I've placed some site lighting into a project. The lights have about 10975.5 lumens. However, when doing any renderings they seem very dark. How accurate are the ies files in Revit?
Rendering doesn't rely solely on the IES files and how many lumens a group of lighting has...i am assuming it's a night exterior rendering...if you say ANY rendering you do is turning then there must be other factors you need to look into...some quick things you might want to try for a trial are
Adjusting exposure
use a black background or image instead
Sun settings (time/location/season) - ex: effect is minor but I rarely get any nice night rendering when I use current location 🙂 so I always tend to change those settings for ext. night renders
There are other things to look into such as surrounding material properties (reflect/absorption); the IES files; type of light...
