or a cool lense flare
there's no such thing 
How come the stanchions of the lights are so bright? they wouldnt be that bright wit the way the lights are positioned.
what gamingproverbs said about the lights is exactly right, if you turn on decay and penumbras and drop offs you have to compensate in the intensity settings. The way it stands at the moment is that the lights are very bright but the picth doesnt reflect their intensity. I would think about adding some indirect ambient light to simulate light bouncing and being absorbed etc.
