What ice-boy is trying to say cough, is that not only are point lights and Poser lights harsh, but that emitters give a more natural lighting effect with softer shadows ;). Point lights are also infinitesimally small and don't spread out much of a highlight ;). For indoor lighting, it's best to use an emitter :). And even better, an emitter with real-world IES data. It will take some time to unlearn some of the things we did that were necessary for Poser but not with Luxrender :). Baby steps...lol.
