Re: How do you work the lights again?
Pencilart,

Thanks for sharing the file. As far as I can see, the problem is caused by a combination of two problems:
- using an old version of (either) the render plug-in OR an old version of the basic light bulbs
- using the ceiling lights in combination with the light bulbs.

1 - The ceiling light is causing the irregular light underneath the glass cupboards, and is also responsible for the light that seems to come from underneath the kitchen island. So, switch off the ceiling light.
2 - Make sure you have BOTH version 1.6.1 from the advanced render plug-in and the basic light bulbs. Replace all light bulbs with the new light bulbs, and make sure that you lower the ceiling light, because now its elevation is higher than the ceiling. See the links below.

3 - To make sure sunlight isn't interfering you can (temporarily) choose a very dark texture for the sky, turn the orientation know so that your model isn't facing north, etc. This is optional, #1 and #2 are the solution for the problem.

As an extra service, I attach a corrected file :-)

Succes!

Hans
