Hi,

I want to make an animation with a fading light_source (starting in complete
darkness and finishing in full light). How can I do this?

Thanks a lot

Use the clock variable to control the colour of the light source eg 
light_source { <0, 0, 0>, colour White*clock }
This assumes that you let the clock run from 0 to 1.

That's a good method. But when it is dark, the shadows of my objects are
gray, and that's not very nice. What can I do about it? (no_shadow is not
ok)

Thanks

Ensure that the object(s) the shadows are falling on have an expicit ambient
setting of zero.
