A little (belated) comment here:
I don't think radiosity light sources should create specular highlights.
Radiosity models diffuse lighting, while highlights are an artefact of specular
lighting - more specifically they are (specular) reflections of the light
source. So what you used here is actually a physically accurate method of
rendering specular highlights.
