You mean Sky? :) Yes, awf cuz I can, but even when you turn off a light (group) in Luxrender is still uses resources. It still gets rendered I think, since when I turn off a light group my S/P does not go up a single notch..

Indeed, turning the group off in Lux just affects the image mix, the samples still get computed and use resources.
