Best probably is to use only strong ambient object instread of 
lightsource... hm, but this will not produce specular/phong highlights 
(it's a pitty) so perhaps use in fact both...

I suggest area_light oriented/circular, and important - with fade_power 2  
(and with approtiate fade_distance to get good results).

Also You might want to use film_exposure future from MegaPov,
