The hot thing. Unfortunately, POV-Ray has no light glows. So, we have to be tricky.
Some people use a special objects, macros etc. Here I attempted to get an effect of
extremely bright 
object by placing a lot of light sources along object. And second trick: camera sees
not the object, but it's reflection in the plane, so, the glows are not real light
glows, but their phong 
highlights. I do not think this is a god idea for al times, but in this particular
scene it works.
 By the way, Russian for reflection is 'otrazhenije'.
 If anybody is interested in source, I'll post it in povray.binaries.scene-files.

 Sincerely yours, Alex Kluchikov.

P.S. Hope not to be boring with often posts and bad English.

POV does have light glows, you just have to make them the same
way you would in reality.  With scattering or emitting media.

Well most light glows in reality happen just inside the lens of your eye/camera,
which pov doesn't support. But there's a few different include files to fake the
effect.

That really looks hot, and I like the trick of using phong highlights for glows.
You probably could use it in other situations by having a very small mirror next
to the camera, and building the camera so that it internally flips the image (to
compensate for the reflection).

Actually I might try that, I'm working on something that could benefit from
having light glows.

What you did looks better than if you'd do it with media. (Media may be used
for glows)
