Webspace has trouble with the lights. Although I don't see it
specified in the 1.0 spec, I believe valid ranges for a light's
intensity is 0.0 (no light) to 1.0 (maximum illumination). Who's
keeping the list of clarifications? Bernie?

All but one of your lights in the scene have intensities greater than
1, with the DirectionalLight stepping in at a cornea frying 100. Also,
you may want to reduce the number of lights in your scene for
performance reasons since they (particularly point lights) are somewhat
expensive on many architectures, at least for those that pay attention
to multiple lights.
