I'd suggest

The bright lights were still beaming down as bright as ever. (ODO)
Here's a Google Ngram showing the 10 most frequently used prepositions with "light beamed..." some of them are: from, on, upon, over...
So your sentence might read:
The light from my lamp beamed over my table.*
The light from my lamp beamed on my table.
The light beamed from the lamp above/beside my table.
*Note that this is another meaning of 'over' - here it means to extend over an area (i.e. your table) it is not a prefix over- (used to denote something is excessive) like in your word overlit.
You might try something that would convey the same meaning contextually such as engulfed.
The light from my lamp engulfed my table
