Recently, I've been trying some bigger scenes, and light tends to overwhelm my scene.. I've got light sources on the ceiling and the ground seems to turn what ever color the lights are set to..

If I understand correctly, you don't want your lights to illuminate so much of the scene, right? The lights in that scene are very big. I would decide what parts of the scene I want to be brighter, scale down the lights and place them there. The smaller the light, the greater the falloff should be. You could get creative, and place multiple small lights together if a single is not bright enough.

The other thing that I just realized is that my floor is all metals.. and since the background is set to black, the light sources are the only things the metal has to reflect..

Well, if your material is grey and/or reflective, it makes sense that it will reflect the color of the light, n'est ce pas? I don't understand the problem here...

Good point neo0.

Hey, you've got emitting lamp shades, is that and oxymoron or a syntax error !?
