Change the Initial Intensity of a Light Source

When you change the initial intensity of a light source, the change affects all relevant model views.

For example, if you want to change the bulb in a table lamp from a 60 watt bulb to a 100 watt bulb, change its Initial Intensity value.

  1. In a project view, select a lighting fixture, and click Modify | Lighting Fixtures tabProperties panel (Type Properties).
  2. Click Duplicate to create a new type.
  3. Enter a name for the type, and click OK.
  4. In the Type Properties dialog, for Initial Intensity, click in the Value column.
  5. In the Initial Intensity dialog, specify the desired value.
