  adaptive 50 would only make a difference if your area light has more
than 1125899906842625 x 1125899906842625 points in it. We can assume it
doesn't.

  Adaptive 0 makes a difference if your area light has more then 2x2
points in it. For adaptive 1 it has to have more than 3x3 points, for
adaptive 2 it has to have more than 5x5 points, for adaptive 3 it has to
have more than 9x9 points, for adaptive 4 it has to have more than 17x17
points. In general, "adaptive n" will make a difference only if your
area light has more than (2^n+1) x (2^n+1) points. For adaptive 50
that's 1125899906842625 x 1125899906842625.

  If your adaptive value is too large, POV-Ray will simply ignore it and
use the area light without any adaptive supersampling.
