You should pick something other than light before you start waxing on about what "we have no evidence for the experience" of. There is a reason that we experience certain wavelengths of light as the color red. Red isn't arbitrary. Red isn't fuzzy or mysterious, sight isn't an unexplained phenomena. Subjective experience is similarly easy to demonstrate. Ask two critics about the same movie. My subjective experiences have often been completely off the wall (just like the rest of us, it's in our nature).
Free will, focus.
(You're not seriously having trouble figuring out why we each have a subjective experience of life....are you? Hint, your brain is locked inside a dark box, relying on a small selection of faulty and easily fooled equipment for information.)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
