With:

#declare Area = 4;
#declare Th=0; #declare Steps = 30;
#declare Offset = -37;
#while(Th<360)
	light_source{<0, 9, -100> CHSL2RGB(<Th, 0.84, 2.5/Steps,0,0>)
		area_light Area*x Area*y 17 17 adaptive 0 circular jitter
		rotate (Th+Offset)*y}
	#declare Th = Th + 360/Steps;
#end

background{rgb<0.12,0.21, 0.9>*0.7}

That's a ring of 30 coloured lights
