Looks like a starburst effect that has been altered with a layer mask and the BRUSH TOOL.

Sorry it took longer...
Not saying this was the way the artist of that video accomplished the image. And others here may have a better way.
To create the rays, begin on a new layer above the background. Create the fill as shown and fill white.
Next, apply the WIND filter using the settings as shown.
Press CTRL+F to repeat the filter effect until you have....
Create a rectangular selection and FEATHER the selection....
Press CTRL+SHIFT+I to inverse the selection and hit delete. Repeat Delete a second time to soften the edges more.
Depending on what you end up with, you may have to use Sharpen on the layer image.

The next part is a bit tricky.
Transform and skew the image as shown. ....
Now the hard part.... Use Transform Warp to warp distort the rays manipulating the grids and handle bars in the shape as shown....
With a bit of normal Transform, reshape/move/rotate the image into place. At this point you may need to apply Sharpen to the image.
Lower the layer opacity. You can add a slight, soft blur if you wish or duplicate the ray layer and nudge a pixel or 2 to give it a fuller look.
Hope this helps you with some idea to use.

Re: What is this lighting effect called and does anybody have it so I can download it
I would add two suggestions. Make the initial marquee rectangle so that it includes a bit more of the outskirts of the wind effect. I used both a shape blur and a guassian blur to get a blur effect that I liked. When you have your satisfactory effect on one layer, add a mask, take a soft black brush and add feathering to the edges.
As for the orange additon, I used a linear gradient purple to orange, then transformed it to fit the circle of the wind rays.
I followed dv8's tutorial and really - as he said we might - got the transform>warp part messed up with wavy lines, but I would continue to try to get it right or decide how much I want to get ithe effect exact.
Ddv8 has given you a great tutorial and you can experiment with it like I did. If you are a beginner in Photoshop, you may have trouble going any further. In that case, I guess the only thing I would alter from his tut is to like I said, add a mask and soften the edges so they radiate out in more irregular rays.
(oops, just noticed your second color is rose, not orange, but you get the idea)

BTW, if you change the blend mode on the smaller color layer to multiply and play with opacity, you will get a better lighting effect on the added color.
You should try the method Sam posted, but I think you'd have to paly with it as dv8 did, transforming it, etc.

It is tricky. But one can maintain the line shape. You need to know where to click - be it within the grid section, on a grid line or handle bar as well as what direction to drag.
I think the waviness on your rays is caused by an inner horizontal grid line with a deep bend or curl just before it intersects with the outer grid line.
