Stick it in and have a look at it. What it does is show you how your anti aliasing sampling is being applied to your image. It uses colour as a way of displaying which pixels in your image are getting low sampling and which are getting high sampling from your anti aliasing settings. In your previous settings you were using 1 min and 24 max for your anti aliasing. If you do a render, the sample rate render element should show you red for pixels that are receiving the highest sampling (in your case 24) and blue for all those getting the minimum amount (1). The idea with anti aliasing is that it’s there to smooth out texture detail and geometry detail. On flat areas like blank walls you’ll likely get nearly flat blue in the sample rate as there’s no edges for the anti aliasing to look at, but in your light fittings where there’s lots of complex geometry it should be going up higher. Ideally you want to be using just enough anti aliasing in your scenes to keep them clean, but no more.

I will, thanks. probably not on this one, because of time, but i will play with it on the next one.
