I actually just managed to produce some Illuminance values above 1, using
the Cornell.pov scene. However, I had to up the amibient value of the light
patch from 0.78 to 100.0. The resulting render did not look good, and the
Illuminance values I got were still mostly in the [0,1] range, but there
with some in the 2-3 range, but nothing much higher. So it technically can
be done, but something still does not seem right. I'll have to do more
testing..

Thanks,
George
