When selecting the collection as an object, there seems to be no quick switch for the collection at the light control. I am not sure if it is a problem with my version of blender, which is 4.3.1, and the plugin is the latest version 0.3.9

With the changes mentioned here in the reviews and more (smaller icons) this will be the missing link for LightLinking. For me it sits right under the Photographer addon. Can't wait for the next update...🤝

The new version is already being tested and adjustments are currently being made to the UX. Perhaps we can see it next week
