Hi, as we in ArchViz often deal with light fixtures, and since since its to some extend is possible to make plausible lighting just using materials there come a need to easy switch lights on and off. I normally do it by setting the multiplier to 0, but the problem is then to remember what the setting is when turned on. Therefor I think it would be great with an On/OFF button on both the lightmaterial as well as the std corona material self-illumination section.
All the best,

True, - it's a workaround. But I still think it would be great to have this option on the material itself

Here is a funny trick I used in one scene. Layered mtl - one material is for the light on state, the other one for light off. You can change the state simply by swapping the materials. :)

we are not planning adding the checkbox to keep it consistent with the rest of CoronaMtl UI
