Light level and damage clarifications. (?) (Destiny)

Your Light score is an average of the Attack and Defense values across all of your currently equipped gear. A higher Light score improves both your damage output and your defense.

So, sounds to me like equipping armor with greater defense will increase your light level which will therefore increase both your damage output and your defense.

Edit: Isn't that 'Current Light' bar at the bottom interesting? it's part way between 186 & 187. That seems quite odd to me. I wonder if that's how it's going to be, or if they just haven't finished updating that bit of the UI yet.
