Lights from Revit 2014

I understand that Maxwell supports Revit lights. When I try to render my Revit 2014 project, Revit lights show up in the Multilight controls, however they do not light my scene. Even when I increase the Wattage and turn off sun and physical sky, I see no illumination. Any idea of what could be the problem?
Thank you.

Are you using one of the light primitives (point light, area light, line light etc) or are you using a light based on an IES file ?

We are using a circle source and the distribution is a spot. It is not a IES.

I couldn't reproduce this on my end, can you send me a simple rvt file that showcases this issue ? (radu@griffinlair.com)
