I got a 10k lumen LED flood (110W of LED! 😱) to combat winter gloom. I turned it on the first time without thinking about where I was looking and it was like opening the Ark of the Covenant. Also fun: it produces hilarious artifacts on the iPhone camera—weird grids, banding, etc

Does the lamp help? The banding probably comes from the LEDs blinking really fast and the pixels in the camera expose row-per-row and the dots/grids are secondary (very dim) reflections of the indivudual LEDs inside the probably 8 piece lens system in your phone camera.
