Oh, I wouldn't blame you for being mad, it's only natural. Next time I would negotiate and plan better, though.

It is understandable to be angry. But you are performing a service, and like it or not if the service is not done to expectations you should not expect full payment. But on the other hand they should have had power to the room for lighting.

So take the money you can get, and next time ask if there is electricity. Or go back and fix it, hoping that a negative reputation will not start spreading about your work and collect all the money.
