Does anyone know what the relationship between
the slider and emitter power is? For example, with a baseline of 100, does moving it to 200 double the output?

Thanks

Yes, it's in percentage.

Mihai-

I'm trying to work out animation lighting and since multilight does not work with animation, I'm needing to go back and set up the lights from
a test render --hence my question about the relationship.

So if I have an emitter with 200 watts of luminance and I adjust the slider to 150, that's effectively 300 watts. Or, if I've got an emitter at 200 watts of luminance and I adjust the slider to 75, that's effectively 150 watts.
