Emissive lights not showing in Iray Preview Mode

Hi,

As the subject line says, if I try to preview any emissive lights in the 3D viewport using Iray real-time preview, the scene is completely dark.  The emissive surfaces are a bright colour but there's no light from them.  I'm using Scene Only in my render settings to exclude the HDR light.  My graphics card is an Nvidia GTX 1080.  The lights DO however show up if I do a regular Iray render.  Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

    Nothing.  real time preview doesn't provide all the same render functions of the full render.

    The Draw Settings pane allows you to configure the nVidia Iray mode - to see emissives it needs to be in Photoreal mode, Interactive won't show them at all as I recall.

    Yes!  That was it.  The Draw Settings Pane was the problem.  It had the 'Interactive' setting ON, whereas I had 'Photoreal' ON in the Render Settings Pane (which I thought was the only thing that mattered).
