Iray Help request

I'm using the Gentlemen's Club Iray addon. I'd like to lighten/brighten up the scene. Do I change the Emission temperature or the Lumiance to accomplish this? While I'm asking, if I need to light one character a little bit more, can I use a point light?
Thanks guys!

Color temperature is, as the name suggests, how "warm" or "cool" the light is. Somewhat counterintuitively, "warmer" lights are more blue, while "cooler" lights are yellow/orange/red. Luminance is how bright the light is, so that's what you'd use to add more light to the scene. You can use a point light to add more light if the emissives aren't doing enough for you.
You could also leave the lights alone and adjust the tone mapping in Render Settings (you will need to do a render/Iray or Filament preview or use Create>New Tonemapper Options Node to access the settings)
Thanks guys. That answers my question.
