Hi,
Corona light with rectangular or disc shape is basically the same as softbox in photography. "I'm using softboxes" is just a more fancy way to say that one uses additional artificial lighting.

You can add gradient ramp map into Corona light's texmap slot to dim the edges. Regarding bonce cards, usually simple plane with white Corona material is enough for that. What exactly do you want to know about them?

Create a plane and use a Corona Light Mtl, you can also use your hdr texture in the color slot, or a gradient as already mentioned and it will work. You can also use any texture on a light in Corona.
