Re: grid lock--basic lights placement

That sounds very strange.

Make sure that the light itself (not the eyepoint) is above the surface you are trying to light. If the light is sitting right on the surface it won't illuminate it.

You mention IPR a couple of times--are you having a problem that is limited to IPR, or does the same problem (i.e. no effect from the light) show up when you do a regular render, too?
