There is never a scenario where too much light is a detriment.
Riiight....
I agree 100% with the fatheroflily.
Yes, if you put your face 6" from a white wall and pop the light directly in front of your face, it will be very bright. So don't do that. (If you find yourself dealing with a bad guy and you're staring at a wall from 6", you're gonna lose anyway.)
In theory, it's a problem. In actual practice, it's just not a big deal. What is a big deal is not being able to see and discriminate. The brighter and higher quality your light is, the better you can do that.
