Just noticed that changing colour temperature of CoronaLight, also changes light level quite significantly. Is this expected behaviour or a bug. If former, then i would like to know what causes that?
p.s. going below 3000K light dims dramaticaly and going below 2000K it almost completely dissapears.
yes, this is by design, I remember doing it this way for some reason that I cannot remember 
:]
Maybe it has something to do with fact that IRL incandescent lightbulbs change its colour temperature while dimming?
AFAIK it is implemented so that the brightest color component is always intensity 1 while other compoenents dim to make the light colored
Wouldnt it be better to make brightest component >1 and dimmest <1, so average would always be equal to 1? If that’s possible, of course. Not a big deal if not.
The colour and exposure changes that a light experiences when raising its temperature is something that happens naturally IRL. In my opinion, Corona should not change this relationship. If you want bright lights of a certain colour choosing one of the other modes is the answer.

Your statement is inaccurate, this only makes sense for fluorescent lights. 3ds (or Revit?) max provides a check mark for this (dimming light changes color temperature).
For LEDs and halogen lights, there is no relationship between a change in light intensity and a change in color temperature. Only a small subset of lamps (fluorescent) do this, so it’s almost irrelevant, especially since fluorescent can’t dim.
