I am not aware of a way to make the volume become self lit, requiring no light source at all.
However, glowing is perceived as emitting more light than arrives. All we have to do is make it blast out a lot more than the the light that reaches it. So then you could turn the lights way down and turn the volume way up.
Here's how - just plug a Math node into Volume_Color, and put a number bigger than 1. If you want it to be 100 times brighter than the light would normally produce, put 100 in there.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
