That should be easy: Just fix the media.

Because it's not the area light that is too bright -- it's the point
light that appears too dim, thanks to being concentrated to just the
center of the illuminating rod.

Or at least that's what I think is going on. You might experiment with
this a bit, e.g. by replacing the area light with a corresponding array
of point lights (say, 1000 point lights of 1/1000 the brightness).
