This would be the V-Ray Light. To help demonstrate some of its features we have our test scene here, which if I just hit Render currently produces nothing but reflections, so no lighting at all. When working with V-Ray Lights in our scenes we will probably want to make good use of a lighting tool that should be pretty familiar to 3ds Max users. This, if I open up the Tools Menu, is the V-Ray Light Lister. This has exactly the same interface as the standard 3ds Max version only here we actually see a listing of any V-Ray lights that we have set up in our scene, which of course is not the case with Max's own version of the Light Lister.
