Just adjust the settings to make a bigger highlight. For specular, use a 
larger value for roughness.

Scattering media is overkill for just lighting a small indicator, though 
it will work for simulating the glow effect around the light. You could 
fill the light with emitting media, which may actually be faster than 
the light source method if you have lots of lights. If you don't put a 
light source in the bulb, you would then have to use radiosity to get 
them to cast illumination on their surroundings.
