#animate light intensity?

i'm working on an animation in which an object (a violin) appears fully lit in the foreground while it's surroundings (a room) gradually gets brighter and brighter, as if someone is turning up a dimmer switch… since i can't change the lights' intensity over time, i'm having trouble getting a decent effect… changing the lights' color (from black to their "final" colors) over time doesn't seem to be working well either… could anyone offer any suggestions?… slowly moving the lights into their desired locations doesn't work, because i end up with an unwanted "sunrise/sunset" illusion… by the way, i'm using Rel 3, if that makes a difference… thanks… … joe
