> The manual just said that their aim wasn't as good if you slipped in to a dark corner, but that effect would be nullified if you turned on your field light. Don't know if you can actually sneak past them. I doubt it has any effect on their "sight", just their aim.

I don't know quite how, but from experience, AI definitely can't "see" as well in the dark. If your hiding in a visible but dark spot and there in a light, sometimes they don't "wake up", but as soon as the light goes on near you, vavoom, they all "wake up".
I'm not an expert, this is just playing experience.
