Btw, I think it would be much more natural if *all* lights (not only 
light_sources direct rays, but also radiosity and photons rays) would have 
fade_power 3 and some arbitrary fade_distance. This is the correct phisical 
model AFAIR?

Currenlty - a small lightbull could lighten as well a small box and a 
spaceship hangar with is not true. 

In fade_power 3 case,  color rgb of light_source would mean color and 
light power, not color/brighntess.

It should give nice results with exposure (from MegaPov 1.1)
