Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Dizziness triggered by certain head positions is mostly linked to inner ear dysfunction, such in cases of benign positional paroxysmal vertigo, Ménière's disease, but, since there's a triggering by the bright light, migraine should be considered too. Discuss with your Doctor about these issues and treatment possibilities.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
