				Hmm you can't realy compare point light to area. They give completely different light and shadows.

				Point lights are not possible in the real world (even a small light bulb generates light over an area, not a single infinitely small point) and so point lights don't really give realistic results when you use them with Kray - at least that's my experience.
Point lights can be very good for special effects in Kray, though. I've used them for generating the slight glow from floor-mounted LEDs quite effectively. Medium-low intensity with very short falloff.
