hi guys

IN EMITTER material, which units do you guys normally use? i use intensity,and i really don't know the difference each units.

with POWER unit, it seems that it needs alot of intensity value(above1000) to have right amount of light,while INTENSITY only needs 100 value. does anyone know why they have so much different figure?
