Light power does not match with video (Blender 3.0 difference?)

This has been bothering me since starting this course using blender 3.0, but when I place the point light or any light really, it always is to dim or dark, causing me to up the wattage to an insane degree to have it match what I see on the screen.

Here's what I get when I place the light near the exact location and brightness in the video:

This is making me go insane and I don't know why it's behaving like this! I have the Extra Lights - Photometric Lighting Addon installed. is that screwing it up? (setting exposure doesn't seem to help ether.)

Any suggestions on what is going on will be great!
