60 lights!!! wow!  You could have used spotlights, by the way.  It's
just that the photon part treats them as point lights... meaning that,
while during the regular trace part they'll act like spotlights, photons
can shoot out of them in any direction.  Of course, this won't always
be the case... I just didn't code that part yet.
