If anything, the latter makes it clearer the multiplications are being
done /before/ interpreting the vector’s components as sRGB color
values.  If you want to multiply a light source’s intensity, you have to
either store the color in a variable and then multiply it, like Kenneth
did, or use a function to convert the sRGB values to linear RGB and
multiply the latter.  From reading the documentation, I’d expect this to
work, too, but unfortunately I get an error when I run it:

  C4 = color (srgb <.5, .3, .7>)*50000;
