  I prefer the shorter version:

  light_source { <-1, 1, -1>*100, 10 }

: These brighter lights can give you better control of how it interacts with

  Setting the brightness of the light sources to much more than 1 will give
you a high contrast and overexposed highlights.
  If, however, you want just to light up your scene, you can:
a) set a higher global gamma
b) set a higher global ambient_light (I prefer this one) (the default is 1 if
   I remember correctly)

  To get realistic looking lighting, you could also try with fading light
(fade_power 2 is the best) and of course setting proper finishes to the
textures of your objects.
