But the point is that after a few minutes, you can function
remarkably well in light that you didn't even know was there before
you turned out the lights. If i'm in the darkroom long enough, I can
read from my timer, and can see shapes from the light of my radio/CD
player power LED.

He's easy to spot without a light. Those rhinestones still sparkle.
That said, I can assure you that normal functioning in the woods, on
cloudy moonless nights is still entirely possible.
