Lighting issue (too dim)

[34fdf3323rewrwe]

Recently got my generator bank up and running. However, I noticed everything is really dark in my BASE; compared to videos I've seen on the tube.

I'm using fluorscent lights in this setup:

X- Ceiling
O- Fluorscent light

XXXXXXXXXX
XXOXXXOXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXOXXXOXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXOXXXOXXX
XXXXXXXXXX

I have tried tweaking my brightness/gamma but it's really off. Especiall compared to youtube videos of bases with less than half the number of light fixtures I do.

Note: Videos I saw; players were not using the mining helmet light
Note: My bunker base is 3 blocks high (ceiling is 4th block from floor)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Most lights unfortunately are just not bright, at least not for me as well. The only one that I use personally that actually gives off a decent amount is the simple light. If i do chose to use other lights its mainly cosmetic. Hopefully they give a fix to tthe brightness because although torches bring in more screamers, they seem to be the only solid light source for me. :/

I'm just trying to figure out why lights are so much brighter in many youtube videos.
It's not a simple tweak of contrast/brightness, it's just brighter... O_o
Case and point: Capp00's video.

His home base is very well light with just a handful of lights at 4 blocks high.
My bunker is 3 blocks high and I can't achieve that level of uniform brightness almost 3 times more lighting fixtures... this is quite frustrating.
