CGTalk - Bright Photons

I'm testing GI. I keep getting 1-8 bright photon spots. There's no setting I can adjust that gets rid of it. Once a emitter produces one, it won't go away. I tried odd number of Photons, Radius, Merge Distance, Moving the light(just moves the photons around, Creating a whole new light.

I want to know if anyone else has encountered this and how to fix it. Thanks.

I dont know how your scene looks like but to me it seems that you have got some really strong gi/fg caster (not mean just lights but pretty much everything contributing to you gi solution) in your scene which cast these super strong photons.... try to find out which object it is. Try hide some objects to see if it disappear or not...you should be also able to identify if its reflective or refractive photon which cause these artifacts.

...would be great to see your render to better analyze it
