An rgb 1 light that hits an rgb 1 surface with a diffuse of 1 and an
ambient of 0 should produce pure white. The fact that you need to
"overcharge" the lighting simulation suggests to me that you're using
light fading, shining the light through a partially transparent object
or absorbing media, or using a very dark image as a texture. I can see
from the code that the first two aren't the case, so I suspect it's the
third one.
