No. No. Absolutely no. Unless you /specifically/ want to model something
that glows in the dark, do NOT EVER use "emission".

If you want to brighten up shadows, use radiosity or "ambient".

With "fresnel on", you also need an "interior { ior WHATEVER }" (with
WHATEVER being non-equal to zero) or you don't get any reflections at all.

Also, the level of reflection seems pretty low to me.
