How big, it's around 70 % of the windows size INSIDE the room.
FOr the color, please refer to Kelvin's scale it lets you know how muckh kelvin related to the light type you use (Jovian picker helps in getting the right color related to kelvin).

For the intensity, it's the artist's eye, it's all on you and will vary with how many lights you put (the more you put, the brighter it is) and depends on your room's size (inverse square law).
I always start with 100% then dim down if needed.

1.Just copy glass window to next layer and move it 1 cm inside room (something is wrong with GI when glass and lumi are in the same place)
2.Put 75% transparency and ~ 700-1200 luminosity light blue color (because is bug in Kray which blocked light coming from physky)
3.Setup lumi as invisible.
