Simple Stairs

This images were done based on the Theresa St. Reseidence, by Sonelo studio, and the original photograph by Peter Bennetts (http://www.sonelo.com.au/theresastre...h3km4l2muv8rne).
The intention of this personal study was to recreate the lighting in this environment.

Nice looking lighting. HDRI's? Or vraysun?

I'm wondering about the lamp under the stairs how did you create it? A sphere with a sphere light inside or a vraylightmtl? Or... I'm asking because I've made a few of those myself but was never pleased with the result.

Is the flare postproduction?

Thanks, Vizioen!
The lamp is a simple sphere with a 2-sidedmtl and a sphere light inside, nothing really fancy. The only "catch" was that I had to leave the IOR as 1.0 in order to get the effect.
The flare is Photoshop's good old lens flare (ok, not that good but still old).
