Can anyone point me in the direction of any tutorials/instructions for using the LUMINAIRE Max plugin? Cheers GP

If using Max 5, luminaire is not useful. Luminaire is only needed with Max 4. If you are doing lightmapping, consider gile[s]. It is far superior and easier to use than luminaire and also very cheap. Duncan isn't supporting luminaire any more I don't think.

I would agree with BloodLocust on this regarding Gile[s]. However I think there is a tutorial on Blitzcoder to bake lightmapped textures and that works fine with lights rendered through MAX 5. Gile[s] is by far the best way to go with this as it offers other features too and is less than £40. Also Fredbourg is great at updating Gile[s]. IPete2.
