Yes, you made it too dark, but congratulations with your first render ;)
to change brightness you need to go to the render settings- editor- tone mapping and tinker with exposure values.
Spotlight priority will not change anything, but you can change light intensity for each spotlight.
also, you can try setting sun/sky environment in render settings too.

Max samples will change render quality but not brightness. You will need about 200-1000 for good images also do not forget to turn on post denoiser(all options).
although I usually do not care about max samples but just wait until picture looks good enough


>ah you mean have several paths to separate hair, people etc

Yes, I men that but only for poser content, because Daz already organizes everything well, but poser has very idiotic folder structure where everything is mixed together and scattered through several folders so if you throw everything into a single folder you will have trouble finding wahst belongs to what and where is your stuff at all.
I made this mistake myself and now I have to live with all that terrible mess and gradually reorganize everything manually.
