A dark render is usually a camera problem, not a light problem. Do not crank up the light intensity blindly. Use the Physical Camera.
Think of the V-Ray camera like a real-world DSLR. If your image looks completely white (overexposed) or pitch black (underexposed), adjust these parameters. Exposure Value (EV) EV controls how much light enters the lens. Set EV between 13.0 and 14.5 . Interior Daylight Scenes: Set EV between 10.0 and 12.5 . Night / Evening Scenes: Set EV between 5.0 and 8.0 . White Balance adjust these parameters.
Use Brute Force for the most accurate, sharp shadows.
