Mash Instanced Lights not rendering

[doppelgaengerdigital]

I can't render instanced lights with MASH. Geometry type is set to Instancer.
any ideas why it won't work?

Using Maya 2022.3
V-Ray 5 for Maya, update 2.1
(v5.20.01 from Dec 16 2021)

Are you testing with VRayMeshLight? If yes, there it seem to be a problem indeed. I have logged an issue into our system for our developers to have further look into it.
This is the issue tracker ID: VMAYA-11155
As current work-arond I can suggest to use VRayLightMtl.

If this is not the light type you are using, can you please send us a description/video of how you are reproducing this problem?

Kind Regards,

Tried mesh lights, area lights and maya spot lights. The render fine as long they are not instanced.

I could have needed this functionality a few times now, but I never posted it.
