I am playing with the GIDome lights by GKDantas to see how they work.  I am having a weird problem.  Following the tutorial, I enter the backdrop color, then put one of the presets into the background.  It renders, but the eyes are black (see top picture).  Then I use a spot light for some specular light, at 35%, and get the second image.  By the time I get the eyes to look ok I have the spot at 85%, and the skin is overdriven.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
