Thanks for the feedback.

But the reason I was using three lights was to get **enough** illumination.
Just one light doesn't seem to cut it, so I'm wondering if there's something
basically wrong in my approach or system.

So the question would be - in any typically arbitrary scene such as modeling
a TV or a plant or a table or desk, can you illuminate the scene with one
light source which would approximately simulate one 100W lightbulb in the
room, at 6-18 feet away?

My answer would be - nope- need multiple lights. What's that tell you?


I'll try the gamma correction right now.
