Well, here is my first attempt at a cleanup. In this iteration, I took Mr.
Praay's recommendation of simply removing "area_light" from the photons {}
block of my area light. This yeilds an immediate improvement. I will start
fiddling with other settings once I can get the light levels exactly where
I want them. Right now, I think the insides of the blocks are a bit too
dark. Thanks a lot for the suggestions.
