Make up table thingie-Showbiz!

I need advice on how to make the lights look as if they are on… i have tried putting their emit value away up, i have put halos on them, i have put lamps in them (normal lamps and spot lamps) but i just cant get the right look for it.
Apart from that i would also like some tips on texturing the tabletop- i wanted to get it marble, but using blenders in built procedurals wouldnt work as i always got a warped image, no matter if i set it to cube, plane, sphere or tube. I also tried uvmapping but that didnt really turn out right either. For just now i took the texture off.

lol this project is what im doing as a break from doing my other project (illumina soldier) which is a break from doing my first project! (topcat)
