Can't get any lights to work in Reality

​​​​​​​ Its as if you have to be a professional photographer or something because the scenes keep rendering pitch black. Is there a tutorial video I can watch that shows me how to get lights to work, or how to illuminate a scene? Can't be that complicated right?

There should be a seperate reality folder with lights and such. Also, you have to use the reality render button, not the Iray or 3DL one :)
Here's the PretA3D channel with video's:

Yes you cannot use the lights that come with Daz. Your reality install gives you reality mesh lights, you set the install location when you did the reality install, something like MyLibrary/Reality/Lights. 

lighgting tip - to aim the reality lights look at the parameters tab (with a meshlight in the scene selected) and in the morphs section theres an option to extend the handle, extend that forward, helps greatly.

And make sure whatever camera you are using to render is not somehow blocked, for ex the back of the camera is accidentally poking into a wall or other object.
