How would you go about creating light over a dark surface like this? Just take a brighter version of the underlying color, overlay it, then tweak from there, or is there a better / more specific way that works well for you guys?

Looks like a separate color dodge layer. You can also have a saturation layer to play up the colored fringing in the edges of the light. You can ofcourse also paint everything straight. Depends on your workflow and what style you're after.
