You do realize that would make them less effective, right? There is only so much energy that can be output. By splitting it up, you are also splitting up the energy amongst many different beams. By doing this, you turn an already weak laser into what would amount to a heat lamp.

Yeah, but our laser eyes suck already, whereas even the presumably weak light we give off from our entire body is enough to force the Dweller back. Given that it probably has a lot more tentacles than we've seen. Since the light hasn't been shown to hurt the Dweller, we should probably have a back up light source that has an area effect. The death thing was hyperbole.

Our weak laser currently is ineffective against the many tentacles, forcing us to evolve bioluminescence to defend against it. Since we can't strengthen it, we might as well increase its field as far as we can. Power doesn't seem to mean much to the dweller.
