Turning a Fixture into a working light

[stuartwilson]

Hi Forum! 
 

I am working on a project and imported a light from Visual Comfort and with the help of this forum managed to give it light data. The only thing is I can’t actually get it to glow or light up. Anyone have suggestions?

You gotta turn it on.  Did you?

 

For any new fixture I am doing, I do a one room tiny house, maybe 10 feet square, and place the fixture in the room, then set a camera view, then do all the work of editing the light source for lumens, position, direction, all the settings for beamspread, etc., if it is a spotlight, and settle things with materials for the shade, reflector, bulb, cord, etc.
