Lumenious D5 vs Real Lumens

[media.karimgroup]

Hello everyone,
I’m trying to match the real-world lighting in my D5 Render project.

I used a lamp that says 900 lumens on the product spec, but in D5 it looks too bright and not realistic.

My questions:

• Is 900 lumens too strong in D5?
• Should I adjust the camera exposure or other settings?
• Any tips to make the lighting look like the real product?
• Do I need to use IES files for better results?

Hi @media.karimgroup

Exposure and Sunlight also plays a huge part in brightening the scene. You can set it the exposure to 0 or simply test it on a Night Scene so you can see how 900 lumens look like.

• This is the test I made on my end using Residence Lawn, the room is quite dark and exposure is set to 0
