But you do not, in fact, have the light levels you anticipate, because 
you're reproducing this scene on a monitor, which can't produce anything 
near the kind of contrast ratios that occur in real environments. To get 
the results you anticipate, you'd need a ridiculously powerful 
projector, and the scene you'd need to output from POV-Ray (with 16-bit 
channels, mind you) would probably appear much darker on a monitor 
because of the extreme contrast.

You would probably be better off attempting to simulate a photograph 
here, since your monitor can handle that.
