(...) How bright is "not too bright"? These lights don't obey the r**2 law like real lights do, right? I noticed that if I have several rgb<1,1,1> lights the scene seems "overilluminated" Do you use .5 or so for the not too bright ones? (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) I'm 99++% certain that's not the case, given the input data Jeroen was able to recover for me. I think removing reflections would be a lot of work, better to change the properties of the surface to get them not to happen. (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

It looks to me like each model / row of models was rendered in POV-Ray individually and then PhotoShopped together. Probably removed any reflections when combined on to one image. Scott (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
