As a light is not visible by itself, if you use the light dome technique, it 
won't show in the background.
A sky_sphere is visible whenever any ray don't encounter any opaque object, it's 
a background feature.
You may try a large sphere with the no_image atribute: that way, it's not 
directly visible, but will show in reflections and refractions.
