  Is POV-RAY a good choice for a lighting professionnal ?

Hi,

I was recently asked by a friend to help him getting started in the use of
his freshly buyed computer. He's a lighting professionnal and wants to take
a chance to give up paying lots of money to badly tempered professionnals
who render his lighting designs for him. He wants also to use the power of
the computer to figure out things for himself.
I'm totally innocent in ray-tracing, but being a programmer, I liked the
pov-ray approach, and I definitely think that the best things are for free.
So I downloaded the renderer, and now I wonder what possibilities exist to
simulate professional lighting designs to be fed to POV. I imagine my friend
to be willing to include special lamps into the scenes he plans to create.
Are such lamps easy to model ?

Thanks for your help,

Candide Kemmler
