Photophobia is a fear of, or adverse physical or psychological reaction to light. Whether from rapid change of light intensity, or sudden burst of bright light, as from a camera flash. Not to be confused with heliophobia, which is a fear of the Sun.
When we went to the laser light show, Jon must've got a case of photophobia. He puked and had a seizure.

Preferring sex in a bright room, typically because other people are watching.
She has photophilia, so we pointed large spotlights at our bed as we made out and nearly blinded each other with all the light. It was so hot.
