Movement of light is not "proportional"
Just because a light source like a candle can emit light to a viewer a foot away in a nanosecond DOES NOT mean that a bigger and brighter light source (the sun) can emit light over a greater distance (93 million miles) in the same amount of time.
Also: Are you now asserting that there are two different kinds of light; regular light and "instantaneous light"??
