It depends on the filter...the most realistic way to do this seems to be 
to make a glow effect around extremely bright areas. This would work 
fine in a mirror. Otherwise, you should probably use emitting media, 
which also works in a mirror. If you use a per-object glow filter, 
reflections won't work, and neither will refracted portions.
How could this be done without a post_process filter, and without media? 
They seem to be the only solutions, and they work pretty well...maybe 
some more stuff from POV-AFX could be added, though.
Do you really think adding a "glow" component to colors is the best way 
to do it?
