Hints on Lighting

:?: I have finished a couple of circuit board models and rendered them in POV Ray, my problem is with the lighting. I end up with one (or more) of the following.

Too dark

Washed out

Shadows all over the place

I would really like to have an even light so that all of the components can be seen, or can I turn off the shadows in POV Ray. I would also like to produce models with white fill and black lines for line art for training manuals, is that possible and how complicated would it be.

Thanks for a wonderful program and to Woody for the help so far.
