User Bastep has a great freebee background lighting preset that I use now. One thing I did was load it up with one of my HDRI files so that it would always point to my HDRI folder when I  use it.

@hborre What I do with low HDRI's that render dark is un-clamp my render light settings and then use the post-FX exposer settings to bump up the light.

Also make sure you have enough diffuse bouces (I use minimum 6) That will put more light into your scene

Good call.  I'll keep that in mind and I'll adjust the diffuse bounce to something higher than 6.  Thanks.
