lighting effect

[roysgi]

Greetings
How can I create such a lighting effect (as in the attached image)
The hidden lighting is only about 10 cm away from the wall.
Thanks

put lights in there behind the objects?
plane lights or a mesh light will work

Thanks I tried.
But because of the short distance of light from the wall (10 cm) - there is not enough wide light scattering on the wall

post the result you are getting.

This is just plane lights. Seems to do the trick, no?

[roysgi]

Thanks for the comments.
fixeighted What distance did you put the lighting from the wall? - It looks good.

Could you please send me the file?

After many attempts - that's what came out in the end

I think the problem is in tonemapping. lights look quite harsh on the wall - should be much softer. or they are just too bright lights to begin with. or actually both.

Scene attached, though now too late I guess.
