Infinitely bright lightbulb?

A man looks at a small lit lightbulb, 5m away. He perceives it as being of a certain luminosity.

A woman looks at the same bulb from a different point 5m away. All things being equal, she will perceive it as having the same luminosity.

There are an infinite number of points from which the bulb could be observed. Does that mean the bulb actually has infinite luminosity?
