@craigers Thanks, you found a new issue. I did see that it does let you enter a value, but only between 0 and 1, which isn't very useful, it should be updated to accept any positive value. I filed an issue for this

As to what Luminaire objects are for, it is very much like using a Lights object with a "Lighting Power" value. In EnergyPlus Luminaire's end up as lights. Luminaire's can be added in the SketchUp plugin at a specific position and orientation, the long term intent, which there is no current planning for, was to enable electric lighting analysis in addition to daylighting analysis.
