are you using some other lights besides the IES? do you have any exposure applied in your camera?

If you combine, MR Sun/Sky from the exterior you may need to adjust your exposure of the camera and intensity of your IES to match the Sun intensity.

Try using "non-physical" and set you own scale in the mr-photographic exposure control. Also lower the mrsun intensity.

If your using photons, play with the photons energy scale.

i'm using omni's as fill lites for the rooms! also i adjusted the mr suns intensity...it helped a bit. but still it aint giving a proper output . m not using photons or GI as it lowers the rendering time i need to make a walk-through which will lower the render time even more.
