Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate

"The Doctor's seizure of Tegan's phosphor lamp in Part 3 (to assert command) foreshadows his later manipulation of the Gravis by seizing control through feigned concessions in Part 4."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
His pattern of taking agency with tools (the lamp, then the TARDIS) reflects a growing reliance on objects of power to control chaotic forces, culminating in his bluff with the Gravis.
