No need for media.
If using radiosity, a look_like sphere, or any shape you may want, with 
an emissive finish will do.
Another way would be to use the back side illumination feature. Simply 
adding a second value to the diffuse parameter turn that on. (diffuse 
0.1 0.7 will diffuse mostly from the back side) Works great with radiosity.

If using photons, beter add photons{pass_through} to the fixture.
