  This is an incorrect solution.

  Have you ever heard of film exposure times and overexposures?
Overexposure is not always a mistake in photography, nor is it in
raytracing either.

  Here's an example of intentional overexposure in a photograph:

  If the shutter speed of the camera would have been set so that the
brightest part of the image (in this case the Sun) would have the
maximum intensity the camera could measure, then everything in the
photograph except the Sun would be almost completely black. Letting
the Sun overexpose the photograph was completely intentional and
in fact gives a good photographical effect.

  The photo also gives a hint about the truely correct solution to
the problem.
