Problem with IES in reflections. Need Help!

[Kyle Kuhlman]

When I am rendering my scene, the IES lights appear as white spheres in any reflections! This is especially obvious in this case, since the shot passes by a large mirror. I have tried adjusting the vray properties, and regular properties, and I have yet to find a solution or work-around. So have a look, Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Do you have any glossy reflections at all in your mirror material? If you do, you need to unlock the hilite glossiness and make sure that it is set to 1. If thats not it, I don't know.

I have 1.0 highlight glossiness in the mirror material.. Thanks for the suggestion! Heres a look at the material settings.

Hmm, then I'm not sure about that. Is there an option in the properties to make it invisible to reflection/refraction? I don't think that's possible to do with lights, but it's worth a try. I use ies lights sometimes, but I never get that problem unless there is a glossy hilite on the material.

The lights that were causing the spere reflections were actually Vray Spheres and there is no work around for this that I know of... they are set to invisible, and vray properties are adjusted... So I have to use strictly HDR and IES lights for this scene. Thanks for your input, and let me know of any discoveries to make a Vray standard light invisible to reflections.
