To expand on Eric's suggestion of a lower wattage bulb: I do the same thing. I use a 40 watt bulb in a recessed fixture that is about 5 or so feet from the viewing surface, a big piece of glass angled back and away from me, which drains into the sink. It is right behind my fixer tray. I put the print on this surface and let the fix/water drain for 10 seconds or so (I do a 10-15 second rinse in water after the fix, which is TF4 and only takes a minute). (never view it in the tray, it always looks much lighter sitting in a tray of fixer) I even have a piece of black plastic from a paper pack hanging down in front of the light (between the light and my eyes to keep direct light out of my eyes.) I should add that this light is on a separate switch, so it is the only light on when judging prints during a darkroom session.
The idea is that if you view the print with less than normal room, or "exhibition" light, you will automatically make a print that is just a bit brighter than you would if you were making your judgements in brighter light. After dry down, it will look good in brighter viewing light. Obviously, testing is required, and the relative difference of the darkroom viewing light and the "exhibition" light depends on the paper, and maybe other conditions, and may be a personal thing.
I've been doing this for about 25 years, after realizing why my prints always seem a bit "dirty" after drying. I had been using a 75 - 100 w bulb up to that point. You could say the bulb in my head finally lit up.
