When you use radiosity, it IS a light plane. When using radiosity, anything with any
ambient value 
(different than zero) will actualy emit some amount of light. That's why I made a
metals2.inc where 
I removed all ambient, generaly looks beter to. Should do the same with several
standard includes 
some time.
