hello Dreamdesigner,

Just select your surface and apply the emissive shader located in Shader preset/iray/daz uber/emissive. Then scroll and set emission, luminance and temperature,

hope it helps,

Best regards,

For relatively simple shapes you can also set a geometry for the spot and point lights, including discs and spheroids. Those can, if they are suitable, render more quickly than an emissive surface.
