      Hi again Dr Sassi,

      I'm trying to do some nice product renders with ramp lights in Redshift. I've connected a ramp to an Area Light with nodes but the ramp on the light is barely visible, and in the object reflections it just looks solid white.

      I've set my scene up for ACES color so Im wondering if this might be the problem.

      Is there a way to get the ramp light to match the actual ramp closer, it just seems washed out, and colors dont seem to work at all.

      Here's a simple version of my scene with just a reflective sphere, where am I going wrong?

      THanks again!

        Scrap that, figured it out, my light was just way too bright;)

        Works great now, my bad!

          Thank you, MaverickMongoose, for the quick find and for informing me that no further actions are needed.

          Thank you as well for the file.

          Sorry, I had to check the file.
          Yes, that light source is bright

          If you use a ramp, perhaps use UV.
