Yeah! Tut, Tut, Tut! (that's my war chant)

I've been on a quest recently for just that reason (avoiding the reflection of the mesh light that is). It's tough! Eyeballs, windows, wet streets. It shows every time.

I tried adding a diffuser set to matte transparent, like the soft box, but it clouded my character's eyes.

I ended up just shrinking it to around 100% or 90, don't remember which, and hiked it way, way out of the scene with a sharp downward angle, then scaled it wide on the x-plane and narrow on the z-plane.  That was my crazy fix for this one:http://fav.me/d549i73

I've got one more of a new character's headshot that plagued me with the mesh-in-the-eye reflection, so I ended up getting even more extreme. There's one little dot right now in the left eye, and I think it's acceptable. No worse than you see on TV.
