Yeah Thanks, Crystal3d... Now

Yeah Thanks, Crystal3d...

Now I added selectionset to work with the same name of the camera.

But I do not understand the question of "renderable"...

i think naming has become a hassle,

i would assing selection sets to camera so that the script would perform on the lights in that selection.

I would add object's "renderable" attributes to the mix , sure if i had the knowledge.
