hey, at least not totally blind! But I hear ya. the game doesn't exactly teach players to use glowplants, light bulbs, Emissive crystals, lanterns, headlamps, and flashlights. and doesn't even mention you can use any light source as a flare. I'm assuming since it wouldn't make sense to throw away your only OP flashlight. But it could be that this game doesn't hold your hand, even in the darkest of times.
