Could you post a screenshot of an example of what your aiming to do.
I'm sure it is doable, and I'm sure there is some expertize in the renderers you named lurking about :D

My thought would be to make the stair tread both transparent and an emitter and make the LEDs emitters as well. I haven't tried it but that would be my approach.
Inspecting mirrors is a job I could easily see myself doing.
