Well, your question is a bit odd...radiosity isn't any help in creating 
a "sparkle" effect. You need to be more clear about what you want, 
though. For highlights on a polished surface, look at the specular 
keyword. (And phong if you like, though specular is supposed to be more 
accurate.)
For a lens flare effect, you need to look at one of the several include 
files that have been created for this purpose. I suggest Chris Colefax's 
Lens Effects or Nathan Kopp's NKFlare:
