Nonsense! You're eyes adjust to very low light levels, far below what a 60W bulb outputs in lumens.

  Good enough to see, not good enough for fine work. 60W was enough for me a decade ago. Now for fine work I need 100W. I can still see with 60W, but what was enough for fine work a decade ago is not enough now. I understand this will get worse as I get older. I don't have any particular visual conditions; I'm just aging.

    Another simple explanation, your sight is not as good as it used to be. 10 years is a long time. Just saying.

      A lighting solution that is useful for ages 1-30 leaves out a huge segment of the population! Indeed I have no trouble with low light (yet!), but just because I can read a book with a single 60W bulb in a living room doesn't mean I want to.

      That's kind of my whole point. In fact, not "kind of". That is my point.
