Mental ray lightmap bake-dark

#1

Hi everyone, my first post here:)
I searched the forum, but coudn’t find a solution for this exact problem. When i try to bake to texture mental ray lighting map , it becomes gray-ish and dark. Max 2009 x64

On the screenshot you can see four baked textures, from left to right:
1-Vray raw total lightning map - just for reference,that’s what I’m trying to accomplish, but in mental ray.
2- the vray raw total lightning map in PS set to multiply with the diffuse texture,
3- mental ray lightning map texture element -looks accurate but it’s way too dark and with no pure white in it. the lightning setup is similar to the vray bake.
