if its only light for you then review your video settings? Check your game brightness and gamma

The default settings in DayZ Server are to have "Brighter Nights", and for your "personal Light" to be active.

In your ServerDZ.cfg, find this line, and change 0 to 1
lightingConfig = 0; // 0 for brighter night, 1 for darker night

Also in your ServerDZ.cfg file, if you have "enableCfgGameplayFile = 1; "
- Then you need to edit your cfgGamePlay.json file, inside the mission (the Map)
Under "PlayerData":, edit "disablePersonalLight": true, to be false,
and
Under "WorldsData": edit "lightingConfig": 0, to be 1, (over-rides setting in ServerDZ file)
