If they're all mesh lights, you'll need a rendering farm to do anything useful with them. When I get some time, I'll see about downloading them and giving them a go.
Something in one of the more recent versions of LuxRender broke mesh lights.
Mesh lights are how I do lightsabers and other "glowy" bits--I used to use them a lot. That pic of Rose took about 20-hours , with 8 cores, to render. Now, the same picture takes me 24 cores (all i7 cores) and about 72 hours to get the same level of detail. It's starting to get better (at 1.21), but still a far cry from how it was.![[Image: 2a316e61a0bf89a9722ea229e238e23ceb929c8e_r.png]](http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/forums/forumimportfiles/2a316e61a0bf89a9722ea229e238e23ceb929c8e_r.png)

All that said, I still would rather use Reality/LuxRender than just about anything else.
