Why aren't lights affecting my scene?

Question

Each time I add a new light into my blender scene it doesn't show up or have any effect on the environment. I tried increasing the strength and messing with the translate, rotate, and scale of the light as well as trying different kinds of lights. But no matter what I do it doesn't show up or have any effect on the render.

Could you please post a .blend? I would use Blend Exchange http://blend-exchange.giantcowfilms.com/ — TARDIS Maker, Aug 19 '15 at 20:15
could you post a screenshot of your viewport with all options visible — A.D., Aug 19 '15 at 20:22
make sure you are adding the lamps to the layer you are rendering. — zeffii, Aug 19 '15 at 20:23
Make sure clamp isn't set: http://blender.stackexchange.com/q/17748/599 — gandalf3, Aug 20 '15 at 01:19

I had the same issue and it was because i was in the local view (Numpad /), didn't realize it before i figured out there were no layer selection.

hope this helps someone to not be stupid like me.
