My thought too - I was being brief.

Should anyone want to hone it, the scene file is at

:o)
I'd thought of multiple point lights (they're the only ones that work, I seem to
remember), but on seeing the render time of the single-light version, I decided
against it.

Incidentally, SSLT doesn't like 'looks_like' in light sources (unless I'm
missing something, like noshadow flags - as I write this, my memory is tickled,
and I feel I should RTFM...!)
