Clever? Eh? Eh?

Yes I invented it. What shall we call this sort of light?

I see that you did this although the light's color comes in at 94/94/94 for me.  I think the effect of this would be a much higher specular effect than with a white light at lower intensity, right?  Did you pick 96 (or whatever) out of a bag, or is there a specific meaning for it?

ps: and yes that's a good trick, I have been doing things like just turning up spec values on each material, this is a lot simpler and should have occurred to me.

I thought I clicked on the Windows color picker for 96. 94-96 doesn't matter. I simply experimented until I felt the ratio produced nice results. It didn't "derive" the value in any way other than eyeballing it with test renders. Anyway, yes it produces a much higher specular ratio for that light. But when you add the glow box into it, the overall ratio is about the same. My goal was simply to soften the terminator, while still having a light that was basically 75% intensity of a normal light.
