In one of the previous videos he had assigned an HDR image as a light source.

In the world panel click the button right of the dark grey colored box

Then choose environment texture

Then load Your HDR image:

You can find these HDR images for free at HDRIhaven An HDR image is basically a spheric image with awesome light information

$\begingroup$ @C.Mar No not at all! It is just a very easy method to get a realistic light setup. You can add other light sources, Sun lamp, spot lamp, point lamp or make a emmisive material and assign object, to make them light sources!
