We discuss the effect of metallicity on the luminosities of planetary nebula nuclei (PNNi), and we use theoretical stellar evolution calculations to predict the fraction of PNNi that enter the planetary nebula domain burning helium rather than hydrogen. Both these factors will clearly influence the planetary nebula luminosity function.
