"The simple workflow is:
Assign builtin_object_light material to Object -> create area light -> attach area light .message to Light parameter of builtin_object_light shader. (This picture needs updated below, you should attach the transform, not the shape)"

-Choose "other" from the pop up menu
-When the connection editor pops up, click on the "left display" and "right display" menus on the top of the editor and make sure "show hidden" is checked on in both.
-In the left column, you should see "message" at the top of the list, click it.
-In the right column you should see "light" in the list, click it
-close the editor.
If your light is set to decay then yes the scene scale matters.

I try to follow the same article. (https://elementalray.wordpress.com/20...ntal-ray-3-11/)
(Assign builtin_object_light material to Object -> create area light -> attach area light .message to Light parameter of builtin_object_light shader. (This picture needs updated below, you should attach the transform, not the shape))
How to assign the Node to the Object?
Please help.
