uhm, oKAY?
What *if* a non-sketchUp-user would be able to help you? You should explain your problem with more details and maybe also add images. ;)
(Even if you're sure, that the problem is on the SketchUp-side.)

Sorry, I was in a rush. Basically, I can't get enough light into the room. I could increase the strength of the sun and sky. Basically im looking for recomendations.

I don't think you can increase sun power in skindigo, never heard of that. You could simply set your camera differently: raise up the ISO value, or make the shutter speed lower (or both, if you need it). I suggest you keep a relatively high f/stop, so all your objects are in plane focus, say f/11 - f/16.
Hope this helps!

shutter speed or ISO value should both only be issues with camera tonemapping. (Which you can use to fix your light...)

You might even be able to make the image brighter with reinhard.... Just save an igi, use violet and tweak your tonemapping until it works...

If you don't want to use Violet, trial and error will be the way to go...

Using Reinhard should fix it a little not? .. as it will level the light to acceptable err..levels.
