This is, apparently, correct. Weapon light 170 = 70% damage (Destiny)

So the damage reduction is apparently based on the light level of the weapon compared to the overall light level of the target player. Thus rendering any year 1 weapons inferior by reducing their damage by roughly 30%. My data all comes from a reddit thread about this.

Expect to see a lot of Red Deaths running around in IB this week, folks.
