Add more light to Window Seat

ArtCollab's "Window Seat" is a great product, but I cannot make the scene brighter in IRAY.  I tried adding lights, using the camera headlamp, and cranking up the luminance of "3_LightCover, but the scene remains as dark as ever.  Can somone tell me what I need to do to get a brighter scene, please?

    Tone Mapping. Use the sliders as you would for a camera.

    Do you have "Scene and Lights" set in your render settings under Environment?

    When I was working with the scene setting everything up in Iray I had a point light in the seating area and it lit it fine. Try adjusting your tone mapping settings. You can also set a spotlight shining into the seating area.

    Thanks everyone!!  I set "Dome and Scene" in my Environment and everything seems to be OK.  It was set to "Dome Only".

    This is the main cause of your lighting problem — every extra light you added was being ignored.

    Note that this can get a bit tricky; actual Point/Spot/Distant lights that you add from the top toolbar will be ignored with a "Dome Only" setting. I'm not sure if this still holds if you apply an emissive Iray shader to a material, to make it into a mesh light. Other Iray functions don't consider mesh lights to be "real" lights, so some experimentation will be needed.
