What's the problem with greater than 1 or less than zero values ?
just have a lit torch in an internally lit room (or 2 torches in a Non 
Internally lit room), et voilà, Lighting Level = 2, room is Lit.
Then activate three Radiation dampeners in the same room, Lighting Level 
= -1, room is Dark.

It's because the order doesn't matter, you just add up the values. 
(although I do take your point that maybe it would be better to take 0 
as the "Lighting" point instead of 1)
