The pratishta inside the temple have some tantric significance and secrecies attached to it.. and the live presence of the divine being is supposed to be there and no one is supposed to ogle at such things.. there can be light and temperature only to the optimum limits.. The Darshan of sages and their activities are supposed to be seen only by the limited and scripturally permitted audience.. Too much of open exhibition in such cases goes to deplete the spiritual power of the deities and people concerned...
Purists in Carnatic music of some earlier generations refused to use mikes for this reason..
Now the major issue of Sabarmala before Apex Court also makes one think a lot..
I am talking about lighting in the Sanctum of temples and not houses... The architecture and positioning left sufficient scope for lighting and ventilation and there are set rules for everything from the material used for making the idol, the structure of the sanctum, the orientation and so on.. the materials to be used for lighting and also occasions when the parts of the contents could be exhibited for better visibility through lamps specifically designed for such purpose.. How you design your house is a different issue..
