A dim view of Airbus

Having flown the bus for some 6 years now I,m curious if others out there find the cockpit lighting as seriously inadequate as I do.
I admit , my vision is not the best now but the A320 eyebrow lighting above the table is extremely poor and limited, especially if a bulb or two have gone ( as I find on nearly every handover!) plus the map light on our aircraft is set too bright for the low setting and consequently you turn that off!
The A330 is an improvement with its overhead light but its still not powerful enough and you block it when leant forward.
The 737 never had this problem if I recollect.
am I the only one who thinks Airbus should address this issue ??
p.s does anyone have the true story on why the original light was removed from the 320 ?? -
