Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

unless you have use light shape and visible ticked under the mental ray tab in the area light attributes, what you are seeing is a specular highlight simply turn it of.
