Speaking of eye strain, there's the hilarious related trope that every helmet in a movie shines bright light into the face of the helmet's wearer.

It's pretty obvious why they do it: they want the faces of the actors to be visible. But, I can't help but imagine how stupid it would be to have a light shining in the eyes of an astronaut when they work on something in the darkness of space.
