for some reason I have a constant urge to stare at bright lights

[dpopiz]

there's this lamp on my desk with a bright 120w-equiv cf in it and I always find myself staring at it because it feels good for some reason

What you need to do is look at a solar eclipse! 😛

Jeebus...at least wear sunglasses when you do it.
Not only is it good for your eyes, but if anyone asks what you're doing, you can respond:

"Lookin' cool."

Put down the pipe and back away from it.

That just means that you want to be a drug addict. That's all.

seriously though. isn't it just something related to sun-related happiness (aka S.A.D.)? people with SAD are supposed to stare at a really bright light for half an hour each day during the winter.

anyway, staring at this light really does make me feel good for some reason. I'm just worried about damaging my eyes though

I've read that the light that most affects the areas of the eyes associated with S.A.D. comes in obliquely, that is to say, at an angle greater than perpendicular to the center of the lens.
As an ex lighting technician, I can say do not look at the extremely bright sources, be they arc welders, the sun, Hi intensity lights, theatrical moving lights etc. The eye is an organ, too and it can be overloaded too. Wouldn't do it, wouldn't be prudent </Dana Carvey>

You're part moth. Turn it off before you drift too close, collide and burn.
