After creting a couple of scenes how do I light the scene up Professionally. Moreso which type of lights should i use? Peace!!

what kinda lights you should use depends on what render you have and what light you want inn the scene.

if you render with v-ray the v-ray light is the best...thats kinda obious.

how to light up a scene professionally is kinda har du say....you should add light were a light source is inn your scene. if you have a lamp on the table...then add a light there to.

Hello
I think that the "type of light" is not the important thing, but the settings of the render engine. With this I mean, over all, the global illumination (GI) that gives a very realistic lighting, specially when rendering a room.
If you are using the Default Scanline Render you won't be able to do so. You can use Mental Ray or V-ray, just like minimus said, to render your scene "professionally".
There are other engines, but they might be expensive and a bit harder to use than Vray.

I totally agree with krpov.However lighting is very essential for our human live.

actually you can render skylight in scanline, so you can have GI in scanline.
but yes, for nicer renders, scanline is not enough. (but is damn fast)

Yes it all depends on what type of scene you are going for and also atmoshpere and environment come into play
