I was reading plantgeek.net and was looking at plants with low lighting needs. What happens if you add more light? Is it bad or is it beneficial?

My java fern went from a 4 leaf cutting to a huge shrub the size of a basketball in a few months. I've only had one plant NOT like high light, I have some Cryptocoryne becketti (or petchii, I can't remember) and it does not grow well unless shaded by another plant. I thought it was all doing poorly until I trimmed back some of my L brevipes and discovered a bigger, happier crypt hiding underneath.
