O i have but i find that i get cleaner n faster renders with a simple plane light in the window, its not accurate as you say but many people dont care as long as i deliver nice looking images, but as you say its bad advice n practice but it hasnt failed me yet. I work this way with all rendering engines though n i know its not accurate but am never really after accuracy 100 percent, once it looks look am game n thats where corona excells, no matter how inaccurate i setup the scene i do in the end get very good results with corona n i do bet many others work this way if they have been rendering awhile
