You'll need to add any objects you want illuminated by the lights in the 

group, to the group, but you shouldn't need to duplicate it.  You might 
want to place the light in the door, or slightly outside, and play with 
the fade_distance to change the distribution.  I don't know if it will 
ever look quite as good as the radiosity spilling in would however.
