Ok here is one of my first renderings with Revit 2009.

The Image is set as: Interior - Sun & Artificial.

The Time is set for 1 Hour, between 4:00 and 5:00 P.M.

 I have Daylight Portals for Doors and Windows set as well.

How do I get the interior lights to come on?? Why don't they render? PLEASE Help?

After setting the image to sun & artificial click on the artifial lights box in the rendering dialog.  You need to create a new group with all your light sources checked 'on'.  Make a new group, then highlight the group and click edit and add the lights.  Or after creating the new light group, close the rendering dialog box and highlight the lights and change the group in the toolbar dropdown menu. hth

Hi, i try with the 3 option and you can see in image attach, this work fine, when you use "Sun Only" you don't have the choise to turn off the interior light, i don't no if it's a "bug" but..., see also (after do what "BDerrick" says) what kind of light do you have in your model, select one of them and go properties and check the values of watts, lumens and so one...
