How much do these effect rendering time?

    From the description:

    "This light uses the latest Nvidia Iray, and primary and secondary ray culling, which allows you to enable reflections should you wish."

    so it could be heavy on the hardware, but I would also like to know more.

    By experience, rendering scenes with volumetrics takes age to render.

    I had that experience with the volumetric fog of King Wash. I ended up replacing it with Distance Fog, which also has some handy controls.

    On the other hand, KindredArts does such great stuff. Ghost Lights are one of the most useful products. So I wondered if these were more resource friendly.

    Any tutorials on how to use the product effectively? it looks easy enough.

    Quick test with Genesis 3 female - Aibell

    Rendering time:

    Aibell with the default lights = 30 seconds

    IGLKV Room Emissives Example + Aibell = 13 minutes 17 seconds

    Thanks. I was curious about this set and could not resist. Just need to spend some time with it.

    13 minutes is not bad in itself, but I usually render pretty big, 6000x3000. I picked it up because couldn't resist, but will have to play around with it.
