@Linkat,
I dislike bright lighting. Hate fluorescent lighting. At my last job, my supervisor and I sat beside each other - both hated the bright lighting - she arranged to have a whole bank of fluorescent tubes removed.
One of the first things I do as soon as I get home is turn off about 2/3's of the lights Set has on. I'm a bit of a Vampira that way. Mebbe it's all those years of reading under the covers as a kid? Dunno. Just know I hate bright lights.
I don't like bright natural lighting anymore than I like bright artificial lighting. I wear sunglasses outside almost year-round.
