I mean as far as I understand it for me, being heavily ADHD, it's a sensory thing, i feel overloaded and overwhelmed when that light is on me, like it blasting me with it's energy. I also cannot be touched when I feel greasy (after eating greasy foods for example)

It's just too much for me to handle

I did not in any way mean to suggest sensitivity is not a factor, only to suggest that light sensitivity may be more of a spectrum and that there are persons living in a darker world than others. So, it may not be a person on the top of the bell curve that need more light, but someone on the other end of the spectrum entirely.

Since the top comment in this thread was about needing more light in an already bright room i meamt to say that there might be reasons why people around us prefer 1 or 100000 lumen...
