Just checking the obvious first...Is the Multiplier value of the IES material set above zero?

Multiplier already set to 20. Still there is no light.  :-[

oh man, lights went on when I set it into 1M multiplier.

phew. thank you!

You're welcome. But...1 Million for the multiplier value? That seems extremely high! Is this scene modeled to real world scale? Modeling to scale has a great impact on lighting. Under Edit>Set Scene Units, what do you have it set to?
