Something from my Render Library, about 4 years old. I had to reduce the size by half since the original kept erroring out when I'd try to post it here. Enjoy...
For me, typically the issue is non-iRay objects, not working in iRay, but maybe that's just me.

Ann from Big Brother in her goth phase.
Looks good, amazing how much different the outfit and room make.

When you are such a big pervert as TheDevian and me...I did not even know this character was in a game
Well, you have seen every model in a game somewhere

If you take a look at the characters right shoe, it is actually lighting the character. The positioning and intensity of the neon light however is not currently suitable to significantly light the view we have of the character.

In addition to anything else others have said here, you may want to check the material settings are set up correctly. I assume the letters just have emissive materials assigned to them so you probably just have to tweak some sliders maybe.
Additionally, if you have no nearby surfaces for the glow to hit you could try adding bloom and experimenting with that. But be aware that rendering effects like bloom straight in Daz can make the rendering process slower, and things like that might be best left for post processing if you're okay with image editing in software like photoshop.

Ok final version, I won't change anything at this point anymore. I can't get it to where I wanted it to be, but I feel like too much focus on one thing isn't good, so I need a change
As I didn't have anything better, I used glowing Metal shaders on the crystals

This one has an emissive rock. You tend to need a few things to get the look exactly like you want but the big one is that the emissive surface's luminance will need to be much higher than you may think. For this one it's at 50,000 cd/cm2. No ghost light needed unless you need to cheat to control how bright the surface looks or you need to soften shadows.I put some ghostlights in the chest crystal, definitly something I don't want to do for every crystal
The entire scene is lit with a single large 1250k temp emissive surface off camera "below" the rocks, a 2250k temp smaller emissive surface (also out of view) near the rock face behind the model and the white glowing rock.

Wow! This image looks a bit like it is drawn :O Really cool.
I actually had the Luminance really high, the problem is that those crystals kind of lost they geometry because of it. I think I could've need either better shadows on them or dark outlines.
My problem with lights in general is, that I still don't get how far they need to be away from an object to get a certein amout of lightning. And in this scene I often couldn't decide, if any lights do anything

Wow! Triss and Yenefer look really awsome and really close to their original looks!
