Hi again
The emitterobject works well in the rooms.
But I also want to lit the pool (the water of the pool is a box, in front of the box is a glass wall (a box as well).
When I put 2 spheres objects into the pool (within the poolwaterbox) with a emitter material it doesn't lit the pool.
Compare the old yafaray rendering in the attachment.
In the screenshot you can see the position of the two spheres.
Does anybody have an idea what I do wrong ?
Kind regards
Alain
Emitterobject does not lights the scene

I guess found out what it is... the normals of the emitter objects point inwards...
Ahh, sorry I couldn't help but at least I will know what to look for if I get the same problem.
Thanks

The wrong normals is was not the solution 
It seems that the light is not strong enough. I use now 4 spheres as a emitter objekt to light to pool, but its to dark there...
Kind regards

Currently, light doesn't pass through glass materials, so if your water is a volume instead of a surface, imho the faces of this volume prevent the light from reaching the walls of the pool.
