Actually, I'd strongly suggest you sit down and..take a break :)

you don't have enough experience of Vue i think, you really should sit down, and work through some of the tutorials in the manual, read some tutorials on sites like mine and GeekAtPlay, and get a real feel for Vue.
You are jumping in at the deep end! ;)

By all means perserve with your scene, but if you learn more of the basics, it will help with it :)

Taken me years to learn what I have, and folk like me, Chipp, Vladimir etc, share that, making it a LOT easier for you.

note on spotlights:
the larger the spread angle, the wider it gets, so a single spot light can fill an entire arena..however, it's all coming from one finite point, so you do see shadows radiating from that point.
it does render quickly though.

If you wanted to make a good torchlight, you'd start with a quadratic point light, add very slight tan or yellow light, 5 degree softness at least

and then add a LIGHT GEL, light gels are like masks over a light,
torch light, or bonfires, are never solid, all-encompassing lights, they flicker, a gell can be used to replicate that effect
on the light panel, select LIGHT GEL, browse to materials, Light Gels, pick one, try "Clouded Gel"

you cna also add a lens flare, edit the flare, so flare colour is the SAME as the light colour , make flare small, suitable for torch, candle or whatever, so you have a visible source of light.

such effects make for very slow renders, not so good for animaitons, but great for fine art renders :)

here is a pic of a light with lens flare on, and a light gel ON
