More light is better if the whole room is lit evenly.* Which is why I
prefer strip lights to point sources.* Much better if you're soldering
for example, you don't create shadows, as light can come to the
workpiece from all angles, no matter where your body/head/hands/tools
are.

In the case I described, the lamp (a "helpful" person tuned on) was to
my side, almost the same direction as the back of the TV.

The lighting in all my rooms comes from striplights all over the
ceiling, so everything is lit nice and evenly.

no it isn't and your light is a bare bulb in a night light
