I think that the material shaders you use on figures and objects play as big a part as the lights themselves. Time taken experimenting in the material room can be well worth the effort.

I also think that the new lighting options in P6 help.

Using, IBL and ambient occlusion, I usually try to keep lights down to 2-4 max(sometimes you need specular only lights to pick out details that IBL doesnt give).
A limited lighting model also allows you to standardise to an extent the way in which you approach building shader trees for materials.

There's always the option of increasing/decreasing shadow intensity in a lights parameters.
