Thanks Mikala... After doing much trial and error, I was able to find what I was doing wrong.

Your right... With the light setting for photometric light, "in lightwave", you can go up to 1000% if needed. Which is OK. You just have to manually type in that number... My model is scaled to about 17meters in length, so It's almost to scale. Here are some samples of what I created.

Thanks again.
