Hello,
I recently updated to Next update 1.1 and am getting this exact warning. It is one Vray IES and a small bit of geometry.

Hello, I have also recently updated to NEXT 1.1 and I also receive this warning and other related ones. I attach an image with the warnings marked.

I am using adaptive dome and it seems that I need to use consistent lighting elements (1). What are the consistent lightting elements? or where can I find information about this? Consistent lighting elements do not support irradiance map and are disabled (2). Should I use brute force instead? Light select element are definitely not rendered correctly (3). Prosproduction in photoshop is not correct, unlike in other scenes without using dome. Any guidance? Thaks

I’m also getting this warning message. Does anyone have an update as to what it means?

“Consistent lighting elements are not supported with irradiance map and will be disabled”

According to the documentation you can find an option to enable/disable it under global Switches here

 **Consistent lighting elements** – When enabled, this option provides more accurate, artifact-free lighting render elements not dependant on light sampling. It also provides better support for Adaptive dome light. Please note, that this option is applicable to raw lighting render elements only when the corresponding normal and filter render elements are available (e.g., VRayRawGlobalIllumination = VRayGlobalIllumination / DiffuseFilter).

Check the note here too
