Did a couple of test scene just to see what's going on. I could not get a self illuminating object to work for me, but I may not be setting it up right. The second experiment was setting up a scene with an IBL with no attached image and one spot light just to see what's happening. It came into Lux and there was lots of fireflies, but they started to clear up quite quickly. It seems that at least on my machine, the attached hdr to the IBL light is causing the masses of fireflies that don't clear up even after an hour of render time.

Image has only been rendering for 30 minutes and almost all fireflies are gone.
