I was trying this myself recently and I got a good effect using a self illuminating material alot of people would do this in post also. The double arc I'm not sure but maybe look at attenuation settings on the spots, again can be done easily in post.

Hope this helps post your image when done.

The lights with the distribution pattern are photometrics with a "web" distribution. I think it might be one of the included ones, let me have a look... Nope, I can't find it in the built in kit with Max 9. Lighting manufacturers will have photometric (IES) files for download on the web these days. Even SolaTube does (thanks!).

 

For the cove I made a number of photometric free linears, made them (it. instances.) extra long so they overlapped and used the linear cove web. I probably broke some photometric laws doing that, but it's a start. They are still a little plused. Might be solvable. My worry is that in my experience light emitting materials, while nice, greatly increase the render time for a given amount of clarity. Maybe somebody else has better info on that.
