Crocodile Dendi,

Yup. The main purpose of the Light Map is to give certain parts of the model extra depth and detail. Thus you should add enough light to get it to the point of producing a light map that is mostly white/grey. No part should be fully dark (shadowed) since overlaying this on top of your texture will blacken out the stuff below it.

Take a look at the actual lightmap I ended up using: Link[dl.dropbox.com]

Something like that would be good at about 85% transparency using soft light as the modifier.
