You should add a area_illuminate-less render to compare side by side.

area_illumination is your addition to POV-Ray where an area_light gives much 
more realistic results in diffuse and specular lighting, right?

I was wondering, does it also affect photons?

nice image btw :) love the soft lighting!

It's a 3.7 beta feature

You don't post much, Warp and they are generally tests. 
But they always look good.

For the photons, you need to add "area_light" in the light's photons block. Not 
a new feature.

light_source{10 color rgb 1 area_light 2*x,2*z 17,17
	photons{area_light}
	}

I love that. It looks so... real!!!
Concentrating your eyes in the center of the shadows of the sphere, the white
light seems to shrink and expand. Wow, my eyes are playing crazy things.
Does that glow around the white light also belong to the area_illumination
feature or is it an effect of some scattered material?

  It's just trickery.
