Is this anything like you were after?  340 point light sources inside a 
no_shadow box with an anmbient 1 white texture.

Render time 14 minutes 44 seconds in the P3 Optimised unofficial version 
of POV 3.1g on my Athlon 1.33Ghz machine.

The whole thing took about half an hour all told to put together and 
render in Moray, and if you have a copy of Moray, I can email you the 
.mdl file.

Personally I quite like the intereference opatterns, even though they're 
not true interference patterns (No dark spots)

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
