Light intensity

The rendering engine uses whatever lights available to illuminate the space, so if lights are the only light source, the room will be illuminated the same so matter what the wattage is, sort of like how your eyes adjust to a dark room.

Use the Brightness control to decrease the overall lighting in the room.

The Brightness setting gets saved with the model, so once you get it set correctly it will remember that setting.

I thought there was an FAQ on this. I didn't find one, but there is a discussion of how to make a night scene here:

You also may need to adjust the ratio of Ambient flight to Artificial Lights on the Presets tab to get the effect that you want see.
