VrayLight Material behaivior in Multi-Sub/Object

Since the beginning VrayLight material has an intensity limitation in Multi-sub/object material.

I have asked for this in the forums

https://forums.chaos.com/forum/v-ray-for-3ds-max-forums/v-ray-for-3ds-max-wishlist/1210531-limited-light-material-on-multisub

The recommended solution is: detach the sub-element that has that material, activate Direct illumination or convert the object as mesh light.

This is not practical, specially when you have a lot of objects using this kind of material.

I think its time that we can have a better workaround, an improvement for Vray Lightmaterial for this kind of issues.

Other engines like Corona, doesnt have this limitation on its Light material.
