  Area light questions

Hi to all.
A few dumb questions about area lights.
An area light is a single light source. It's made of several 
sub-sources, but you can't make it "look_like" an array of bulbs, right 
? I mean, you can't automatically correlate the number of sources in the 
area light and the look_like statement ?

If you want to replace an area_light (say 4x4 with color <1,1,1>) is it 
equivalent to set a 4x4 array of individual point lights with color 
<1,1,1>/16 ?

I have many more about radiosity and photons, but I'll wait for those ;-)
Thanks for your help.
