I was actually considering that, but figured it would lower the contrast of
the image (something that I don't want to happen).

Here's the code I used for the spotlights:

-----
#declare SpotLite = light_source {
  <0.0,5.0,0.0> rgb 1
  spotlight
  point_at<0.0,0.0,0.0>
  radius 2.0
  falloff 30.0
  media_attenuation on
}

#declare ManySpots = union {
 object { SpotLite translate<0.0,0.0,0.0> }
 object { SpotLite translate<0.0,0.0,0.0> }
 object { SpotLite translate<-0.25,-0.1,-0.25> }
 object { SpotLite translate<-0.25,-0.1,0.25> }
 object { SpotLite translate<0.25,-0.1,-0.25> }
 object { SpotLite translate<0.25,-0.1,0.25> }
}

I tried putting all of that into one light with an "rgb 6", but I think the
current setup gives better results.
