Is there a simple way to change parameters of multiple objects at the same time?
eg. I want to change the energy of five lamps - how do I select them and change the energy of all five with one step?
Do they all have the same lamp settings? If so you can link their materials with Ctrl+L.

Thanks for that tip - I’ll try it out.
But just say you’ve set four lamps at different energy levels but later decide to change them all to the same. Is there a simple way?
if you want to make them ALL exactly the same use control+L [and link their lamp data]
this makes them all linked-duplicates of the active lamp
this made me think it would be nice to have a pydriver type system for controlling things like that (without using IPOs…though that’d be the way to do it now) - use an empty in the scene, and link the pydriver IPO for the lamp strength. Change the multiplacation factor for each light if you want them different, and just adjust your empty up/down etc to control all your lights at once.
[thinks to self]Maybe I have a bit of programming
ability hiding in me somewhere...[/thinks to self]
dschnell289: I’ve done something similar for the scale of an ortho camera. Little python, empty, etc. You can find it here. It’s the blend file called changeortho. It might help to get your hidden programming skills started.
Hmmm.
Thanks all for your help. I think the Crtl-L is my simplest option.
Cheers
