Hi guys,

I downloaded some ceiling lights and for some reason they wont go on in Revit 2014.

How do you turn them on?

I already went into VG and the light bulb and light source are on. I tested to see them in the renderings and its pitch black,

In its properties its electrical voltage is 240V and the photometrics calculation are already applied.

Artificial setting for lights = 1

What else do I have to do to turn them on?????

Have you seen them in 3D view? They are upside down. Turn them around, use Flip Work Plane - select the light and click on double arrow icon next to the light.

Also, they are not cutting the ceiling, use cut geometry tool to create the opening in the ceiling. That, however, should not effect the rendering since the light source is below the ceiling.
