If you use radiosity, you will have to expect very different results.

Scattering media would be a good idea, light fading is important too since
this would make the surrounding of the lamp much brighter in relation to
the foreground.

Again try media (and spotlights), if you want to avoid additional light
sources you can also try emitting media, although this will probably be
less realistic.
