why doesn't it work in some areas and sometimes it only works after a while?

For that area you need Torch spell or Worm Blood. Torch spell can be found in a wand on 1st level (RND of course, but it is common enough). Worm blood - from worms, kill 'em and drink the blood (small worm egg can be found on the tree branch to left of the starting point and it is always there, unlike Torch spell).

There is another dark area in the frozen level (3rd one) - for that one better to find "all seeing eye" perk or spell.

thanks for the suggestions and tips

Indeed, that's called the damp cave. It's intentionally dark, and the fact that the floor or the ceiling lights up when you get close to it is more a bug than anything. You're meant to bring a torch through there - even all seeing eye doesn't work there.

When you do bring a torch, try to memorize it, as the layout never changes, and the pickups are always there in the same place.

The area in the frozen level that the other guy mentioned is different in that it's only heavy darkness - you can still light it up by exploring, but at a much reduced effect. All seeing eye bypasses the need to explore, making it effective there.
