For ies lights:
Use max photometric/target or free point light
Distribution: Web and choose your favourite ies Kelvin radiobox - temperature, filter color - rgb light

For camera:
Make sure you've got checked "use custom camera response function" on advanced settings tab, and browse for yourindigofolder\data\camera_response_functions\dscs315.txt or any else. I also set tonemapping to none and I played with the settings.

Unfortunatelly for me maxigo forgets camera response path when i reopen file

EV:
EV, ISO, shutter, F-stop are typical settings in photography. Shortest saying... EV positive values makes your image brighter and negative values darker. I didn't check yet if/how it is working in Indigo

I hope it help a bit

[edit]
probably playing those parameters changed nothing because you had enabled rainhard...

You don't have to do that if you want to use the standard dscs315.txt function file. dscs315.txt is always used by default. Use the "use custom camera response function" when you want to use something other than dscs315 (someone posted several different function files to the forum). So the camera tonemapping is always On except when you use Reinhard.

That's a bug. Thanks!

Yes, when using reinhard then camera tonemapping wont work. Cant have 2 different tonemapping models at once.
