Higher Light Level = better gear, it seems this time.
One good way to do it is to decrypt one engram at a time and equipping it in case it ups your Light Level. I was struggling to get past 200 and broke-ass, now I'm at 220ish with 51 Legendary Marks.
This does seem to work.

It's just sad seeing a blue engram decode to a higher light level then the new exotic helmet you just bought.

Yeah I have been holding off on buying things. The important stats aren't clear enough for me to start dumping currency just yet.
This does seem to work.
You can infuse the year two exotics, right?

Or in my case, getting a green Axiom Coven that I've been making fun of for a whole year, and finding it easily stronger than your fully upgraded, yellow bar'd, ETHERIC LIGHT'ED Ascendant Legendaries and/or Exotics!

I'm just really happy that my Blade boots for my titan are useful again. Even if they are only green.
worked for me
had saved up about 20 engrams in my inventory last night. Decrypted 1 at a time, checked it and equipped if it was higher. I managed to go from 226 to 245 light. I think that there was only a handful that were actually lower than what i had equipped, and it was always less than 5 attack/defense lower.
Correct

This is pretty much what I did. went from 241 to 273 last night over a few hours of playing.
