Maybe you could try taking away the lights completely and just using high
ambient values and radiosity.

Into the finish of the white object, yes. And with a high value for
white of it is any distance away. People who use it more can probably tell
you more about making it look good.
Here is what I used for my test before telling you that it would work.
cylinder {
-3*z, 3*z, .5
pigment { rgb 48 }
finish { ambient 1 }
translate < 3.0, 5.0, 0.0 >
}

With the columns in the scene you may find that the mulitple light
system will work. I'm assuming you want to see areas of light coming
from the right side perpindicular to the columns. I would try adding
lights along the cylinder in the white spaces.
This second image looks really cool.

you are right.
the light should come through the pillars like the ceiling light in the
room of the red chair on this website:
http://www.cs.uwa.edu.au/undergraduate/units/233.413/Handouts/Lecture19.html
regular flooding light.

The ceiling light could be done by a plane, or a box that is so large is
is effectivly a plane. Your image might do what you want if you make the
right wall the ambient light_source. You would have to move the camera
so that the wall doesn't appear in the shot, however.

Looks to me like there is no 'jitter' keyword in the area light. Might try
'orient' too if you haven't already.

Is this anything like you were after? 340 point light sources inside a
no_shadow box with an anmbient 1 white texture.
Render time 14 minutes 44 seconds in the P3 Optimised unofficial version
of POV 3.1g on my Athlon 1.33Ghz machine.
The whole thing took about half an hour all told to put together and
render in Moray, and if you have a copy of Moray, I can email you the
.mdl file.
Personally I quite like the intereference opatterns, even though they're
not true interference patterns (No dark spots)
Bye for now,
Jamie.
