$\begingroup$ Maybe their power is controlled at an emotional level - they (subconsciously) loath bright light, so their brains automatically alter nearby photons to keep them from seeing light spots/beams close by. A bit of practice lets them control the power to make "shadows" appear wherever they want. Translating that to direct "light manipulation", however, would require them to acknowledge their own fears and gain a higher level of emotional control, with all the discipline & character development that implies. $\endgroup$
