What about Trials and IB? (Destiny)

According to BWU, light level is visible on your nameplate as well.

But not above someone's head in a game. It seems to me like light level is the indicator of power, while level is just an experience level. I would like to know power level of an enemy rather than experience. This is doubly confusing for me in regard to PvE. According to how I understand this, I could possibly be destroyed by an enemy at the same "level" as me, or crush them, all depending on my gear. There's no way for me to quickly know how I will fate against them by just looking at their level.

Huh, I never even look at levels above people's names. Only in the menu so I can see what level/gear they have.
