There were some rooms that went "Lights OUT" for just a bit, till the 
teleporting was done, and some that when they went out they stayed out. 
Some they stayed on in.  The lighting was really varied.  Left me with 
the feeling that there was about to be NO lights, except the glow of 
firelight.  It took me a while to realize that it was supposed to be 
like this :)
