100% light with 1% falloff = 100 meters sphere of intensity in a world 
where you have kilometer sized objects...it won't work!

Try using a 100% light with a .01% falloff...this will give you a sphere 
of intensity 10,000 meters in size...if that's not big enough, try a 
falloff of .005% (50,000 meters) or whatever seems appropriate.
