lamp lighting tutorial

I am still working on this but this is what I got from the origional tutorial seen here: http://www.cgsutra.com/autodesk_maya_tutorials/m0002_lamp_shade/maya_lamplight.php.
I learned how to use spotlights, point lights, and an area light to create the natural lighting that a lamp would make. It didn't take me very long to do but I want to add photons and more stuff to the scene.
