The V-Ray Light Mix render element is useful to change the appearance of the image by controlling the lights in the scene.

In the example below, we've created two different light setups with the help of V-Ray Light Mix: sunset and night. The Sunset appearance is achieved by using sunlight and an additional softlight to simulate light coming from the outside. The Night appearance is achieved by setting the Sun **Multiplier** to** 0**, changing the **Color** multiplier of the outside light to **blue**, increasing the **Intensity** **multiplier** of all interior lights and tinting them with warmer colors (all ceiling and built-in furniture V-Ray Lights), adjusting the self-illumination multiplier of desk and ceiling lights, shaded with V-Ray Light material.
