1 - Yes. "SpectralEmission()" return a colour vector. When you multiply 
a vector by a number, you realy perform this:
<0.1,0.2,0.05>*1.33015 is transformed as:
<0.1,0.2,0.05>*<1.33015,1.33015,1.33015> or:
<0.1*1.33015, 0.2*1.33015, 0.05*1.33015>

2 - Not sure what your "forlums" mean.

3 - As has been mentioned before, POV-Ray use the Phong lighting model.
