fhoofman,
As far as I know it's not possible to make such a lamp in SH3D. The problem is the way the rendering handles transparency.
I prepared a transparent cylinder and a transparent sphere and then I put 7 warm lights inside them. In the picture below you can see the 3D window on the left and the rendered image on the right, made with the advanced render plug-in.
The light you can see comes from one of the lights inside the cylinder that sticks through the cylinder wall. I corrected the placement of the lights so that they are all inside the cylinder, and the resulting picture is absolutely, completely dark.
So, if you want lamps similar to what your picture shows, you will have to build your model in SH3D, then export it in OBJ format. You can then import your model in a rendering program that correctly handles transparency, such as (among many others) Blender.
