I hope i'm not speaking out of turn, but i think what you are asking for is impossible to provide. A one stop lighting rig that will encompass every lighting need and enviroment.

I think purely because lighting itself is so complex, I'm no light guru in fact i'm pretty useless in setting up my lighting and it takes an eternity of rendering, rerendering to get anywhere near to someting i'm happy with.

I mean that for instance sunlight is going to affect a scene much differently than moonlight, indoor light, flame, reflected light etc etc etc. Especially if you use the Indirect light feature and raytracing, I really think it's a matter of what works for you and nowadays i tend to use no more than 3 lights, one infinite with bb's light dome and either one or two points and/or spots.
