Are you saying you're allergic to the sun? hehe

I know that looking at light (like a lamp/the sun) can bring on a sneeze
that's already in the making.

Interesting tidbit from Wikipedia:

"Photic sneeze reflex (also referred to as sun sneezing, photogenic
sneezing, or whimsically called ACHOO syndrome, a backronym for
Autosomal dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst syndrome) is a
medical condition by which people exposed to bright light sneeze. The
photic sneeze reflex can also cause one to sneeze many times
consecutively. The condition occurs in 17% to 25% of humans, with more
common occurrence in Caucasians than others. The condition is passed
along genetically as an autosomal dominant trait."

Thanks Jean!drinker Now, why didn't I check out wilkepedia?

Yes, it does happen even with regular household lights, as well. I've
heard it only occurs with a certain percentage of the population, but
never knew why.
Again, thanks for the tidbit o' info!

sunlight. Happens to me too
