If you NEED light at night...

Use a blue chemlight.

NOTE: Using a light at night is still EXTREMELY foolish and can/will give away your location to another player. At least this lets you know how far away you can be seen.

Also, I suggest watching the related videos for useful knowledge.

I try to avoid playing at night.

The moon should give off more night, having it pitch black sucks.

It gives enough light... during a full moon. Which does suck.

every server I go into it's pitch black right now.

It kind of looks like the threw the blue one a lot further than the first one, and the red one a little further too, but not as much.

As he moves back, they disappear in that order too.

Here is a photo taken at night during a full moon.

This is a comparison of times the moon rises and real life. The game is too realistic sometimes.

I like playing just as night falls, it's dark enough to make you nearly invisible to zeds but allows you to see plenty well enough. Only gives you about an hour worth of game play though.

0430-0600 gives enough light to see but keeps you hidded from the zeds.

you are absolutely correct OP. :)

here is the wiki link which tells you exactly how visible each chemlight is.

RIGHT!? Omg it's so fucking horrifying to not see ANYTHING AT ALL, even if there is a moon out.
