Okay... tried both radials and spotlights.  Spots with edge softness of 43 - which does look quite nice.

The pools of light from the spotlights looks great but those lamps with spotlights in them don't look so good as lamps.

The lamps with radials in them look great as lamps, but the light they cast has odd parallel lines in it...

Help?

Oh and the redish sodium lamps are still too pink.

by the shade it casts.
