Can a dome light be combined with redshift?

The Redshift dome light can be combined with a primary GI engine (Brute-force or Irradiance Cache). Doing so helps Redshift catch dome lighting more efficiently, especially with indoor lighting situations. So if you’re getting dome lighting noise, please try enabling GI before increasing the dome light samples.
