It's just a cylinder with a concave groove around one side, with an emissive surface set into it. The rest of the material should have no gloss and dark diffuse, to prevent noisy light reflected from it. Overall much better than using a torus primitive, since the shroud can focus the light on your subject rather than flinging it all around the room. Hope this helps someone
