Chuckie,

To start with irender, have a look at their tutorials here:
http://www.suwiki.org/suwiki/index.php?title=IRender_Tutorial

This is not really a SketchUp modelling issue but rather specific for the plugin so I even take the chance to move your question to the "Plugins" section hoping that Al Hart (of the Render Plus Systems) visits that forum more frequently and can help you out with more detailed answers).

Cheers

There are 5 ways to get lights for IRender.

1. The lights in the SketchUp Architectural and Landscape components library just work.

2. There is a make lamp icon, which lets you create a point light, spot light, rectangular light or linear light of any desired color, size and intensity. There are components which you then place in your model, or in other components.

3. There is a make light fixture wizard which lets you create table lamps or floor lamps with varying shades or stands

4. There are a number of "IRender Ready" light fixtures stored in the 3D Warehouse. These have had IRender lamps added and other geometry made translucent, or non-shadow generating, so that are ready too use as lamps.

See the IRender Ready collection: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/cldetails?mid=10f5873e0c3b6efd90f6e146a99d7860
