Just to avoid confusion, POV-Ray has two values for ambient light: the first
is the global value, specified in global_settings, that is a multiplier for
all ambient light in the scene. This is 1 by default and you might want to
change it if, say, you wanted the scene to have colored ambient lighting.
The second value is per-object and specified in the finish block. The
default for this one is 0.1.

Although all ambient lighting can be turned off with global_settings
{ambient_light 0}, the best way to do this is with #default{finish{ambient
0}} as this can be overriden for a specific object.
