Nope the're just plain point lights with an RGB value of 1,1,1. There are
five lights in my scene. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=89120
The first four are used for the torches one being just out of the picture to
the right. I placed one light inside each 1x1 round brick. The fith light
was placed at the same spot as the camera acting like a flash on a real
camera. Without the fith light the scene would have been much to dark. In
order to position the lights correctly I used a trick inspired by Brad
Hamilton's camera positioning technique explained in his excellent tutorial.

And of course I used that technique to position my camera.
