great tutorial, i have one Q. i did it and all works great. I went a step further and added a black reflective plain, for a reflective effect. However the top illuminated plain still appear in the render. I play with the composting tag, but it it either in the render or off completely. How do i get rid of the light plain reflection on bottom plain

In short: just turn on GI in the render settings. (auto light will turn off then automatically)
then the plane can light up the environment. just test it, you´ll see the difference.
there is a cool tutorial about stuff you´r trying to show. http://vimeo.com/15571481
since it does not involve GI rendering it actually needs real lights, so it kind of fakes this effect.
in your case you would need an “area light” placed on the plane.
