#### Changing Illumination Values

At any one time, only one of the lamps can have its settings changed. This is referred to as the “active” lamp, and is the lamp that is not drawn in a “Dimmed” state.

In the above example, the bottom light (lower left) is active, and the top light and ring light are "OFF".

Changing the Active Lamp's Values:

1. Click on the toolbox near the needed lamp, or click on the intensity circle within the lamp. If you click on the bulb itself (not including the intensity circle) it will select the lamp but also toggle the bulb state on/off.

2. Move the slider bar or type a percentage value in the % box. Only the active lamp will be affected.

3. Adjust the Lamp Angle to physically alter the angle of lamps that support this capability.

4. Change the Lamp Color by selecting the LED color of lamps that support multiple color LEDs.

Caution: For new users there may be a tendency to "over light". Excessive lighting can cause refraction errors when locating the true edge. It is usually safer to error on the side of "less light".
