I don’t think the sine wave is built with that in mind, but I could be wrong!
It makes a big difference, both because there's light where you want it, and because there isn't light where you don't want it. The more light you make, the more your eyes adjust to it, so less light can mean you see more.
I use a B&M lumotech iq cyo premium senso-plus or something like that. 80 lux.
