How it's used
Primarily used in technical or formal contexts, such as discussing display settings, photography, or lighting design. While it is a standard noun, people often use more descriptive phrases like 夠唔夠光 or 太光太暗 in casual daily conversation to describe the same concept.
Examples
Your screen brightness is set so high, it is bad for your eyes.
The brightness in this place is not enough, it is hard to see the photos.

Common mistake
Avoid using this word to describe the intensity of a light source in a casual setting, as it sounds overly clinical or academic. Stick to simpler adjectives like 光 or 刺眼 when talking to friends about room lighting.
