Assuming the screen to be 0.5 square feet, that is only about 465 lumens. LED bulbs for standard sockets are commonly available up to 4000 lumens, and I have a bigger one that is about 7000 lumens.

I have those all over my house.

My kitchen has 14 40-watt T12 bulbs, probably 2600 lumens each, which would total 36400 lumens.




Yeah I couldn't be around lights that intense later in the day. Same thing with computer screens...I have them dim and disable blue wavelengths around sunset.
