Best way to learn lighting in Iray is to use photographic lighting tutorials.

Not only! i agree if you say that one only uses an HDRI, that is not good anymore, you can set the HDRI intensity very low and use photometric lights. The more lights the faster iray renders ( so i have heard). But dont underestimate the power of the Sun-Sky light, i think that one is most powerfull but for a lot of people also the hardest.
