What happens if you set the light intensity to 500% or higher?

Have a look at this article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_value

Something that is directly lit by the sun appears to be over 200 times brighter than a typical interior. You need to set things up like you're using a camera in that room. You would not set an exposure for the outdoor light level, but rather for the indoor light level. Which means that any object directly lit by the sun would be severely overexposed, such as a patch of floor getting light through a window. You need to increase the relative brightness of the light source, because we don't have camera exposure controls in Poser. We can't change the sensitivy of the "sensor", but if you change the effective luminance of the light source, it amounts to the same thing.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
