My first recommendation is to choose a more interesting spherical sky. Metals and shiny plastic look much better when they actually have something to reflect.

Try using this scene, but replace the camera with your object.

An object's materials reflect the environment around it.
If it is floating in a black space, or floating in a white space, then it will not look good.

So put it on a "photography screen" like shown above, then disable the sun and load a good photography studio spherical HDR sky as shown and given away free in the links above (they come with Twilight Render in the environment dialog presets). Then render.

In that thread you will find this post describing a studio setup you can create for full control and rendering your light fixtures (or any object you want, really):

Using 4 rectangular emitter planes to create a studio for this light fixture, place them in a box-like patter around the object.
Set the back planes as emitter material with power at 150w/m2
Set the Front Left and Front Right emitter planes with emitter at 500w/m2
