Wow....uh, I'm sure that array of 800 lights looks impressive, but (and, no offense) it seems to be a little overkill. Lighting arrays are more to simulate GI (Global Illumination) and that can be done with anywhere from 20-60 lights. And, since you have Bryce 5, if you want, turn the soft shadows on just a little bit on those lights(25%). This is if you are wanting to simulate soft shadows. 40 lights with a small amount of soft shadow, would probably render faster than 800 lights. Glass is tricky, it takes a bit of experiment with increasing the TIR and refraction. AgentSmith
