Probably due to the angle of the surface to the light direction. You 
could lower the brilliance value of the surface finish, but that will 
affect all shading of that surface.

Specify a brighter color for the light source. Values > 1 are perfectly 
acceptable, they will just wash things out in some cases. You can even 
specify negative values, though that isn't realistic.
