Moray doesn't have light_groups (yet, don't know if it will).
Though...I might be able to do some optimization there and have
point lights with media interaction/no shadow, and area lights
with no media interaction/shadow..

BUT I've already spent this much time on the render and I doubt
that light change would gain me that much...would it?  If it
would, I might change...
