You could try a media container the same size as the box that you used to
take the middle out of the room, or you could use a high ambient/diffuse value
on the window material.  I used ambient and diffuse on my trafficlights macro
to get that type of effect.  something like:

 object{GlassInWindow
             pigment{rgbf <1,0,0,0.85>}
             finish{ambient 5
                    diffuse 5
                    phong 0.8 
                    reflection 0.2
                    specular 0.01
                    roughness 0.001
                   }
             }
       
Not sure of the exact values I used, just play around with the diffuse and 
ambient values.
