- Increase the size of the light-emitting objects.

- Make the media fall off gradually, so that although it may turn out
white at the center, you'll still see some colour at its fringes.

- Render to a high dynamic range format (OpenEXR is recommended) and use
post-processing to tune down lights until you get a hint of colours.

- Enjoy the beauty of an image where part of the scene is so dark that
it almost - but not quite - gets lost in the shadows.

- Make sure your display is reasonably well calibrated, especially with
respect to black point and gamma.

- Make sure you are using proper gamma handling (assumed_gamma 1.0,
Display_Gamma .ini setting matching your display system).

- Cheat, using an assumed_gamma setting even lower than 1.0.

- Cheat, using a radiosity brightness setting higher than 1.0.

- Cheat, using two copies of each light emitting object: A bright one
with no_image, and a darker one with no_radiosity. (One of them should
also have no_reflection.)
