I can cause a sneeze sometimes by looking in to a brightish light for a couple seconds. I've heard that some people can do this and some people can't, so I was curious how common this was.

Sorta.

It has to be the sun.

Even my sunlamp (which is as bright as the sun) can't trigger it for me.

The sun doesn't trigger it for me.
But I can trigger it sometimes.

Yes. I sneeze from the sunlight sometimes.

Apparently, there's a whole Wikipedia article about it.

I'm not affected. I can't sneeze on purpose at all.

If I sneeze, I sneeze. I can't induce it, I see no point in inducing it... it'll either happen or I suppress it. That simple.

Rare occurrence, but yes I can.

I can also sometimes induce one my lightly putting pressure on my nose with my thumb and index finger, then humming into it if I know one's coming. That usually does the trick.

I can also sneeze repeatedly by being near mildew.

But that's not impressive, that's an allergy XD.

Yes, light makes me sneeze, so when I feel I'm about to sneeze and I don't want to I just cover my eyes for a few seconds and it goes away

Yes, in fact. Only happened with sunlight. I never really thought about it, though. I always assumed it had something to do with my nose opening more when I squinted my eyes or something. It hasn't happened to me in a long time.
