tamtesekowyou can tag geometry with LPE tag and then isolate in your AOVs
bump, LPE tags for geo lights still a no no?
it works for geometry light contributions
the main limitation seems to be that the Split Per LPE Tag checkboxes don't parse geometry marked as lights, only light schemas and therefore they will not detect and create the AOVs for current workaroundish incarnation of geometry lights
so you have to create additional AOVs yourself with corresponding LPE that filters lights by LPE tag of the geometry light object
sekowIf you always want to treat those objects as lights you can just do:
But not sure if my LPEs are correct, even if they look alright.
