'''Low Light Vision''' is a special intrinsic property possessed by some races in [[dNethack]]. Characters with low light vision see farther in dark rooms, and the illumination radii of [[light sources]] are multiplied by a like amount. Unlike [[infravision]], low light vision is determined by a character's starting race, and inherited by any polymorph forms.

Races giving low light vision in dNethack:
*Elf: LLV 3
*Orc: LLV 2
*Gnome: LLV2

 [[Light source]]s in dNetHack and its derivatives emit bright light in the same radius as in ''[[NetHack]]'', with dim light and very dim light extending further from those sources&mdash;this is dependent on the light source's radius, with the light becoming dimmer as it extends outside that radius. A light source in a dark area emits dim light from the edge of its normally-lit radius to a range of twice that radius, and from there the light becomes very dim within a range of three times that radius, with anything beyond this radius being unlit. Low-light vision thus enables the ability to see in squares with lower levels of illumination, dependent on its own "level": this means that a hero or monster with low-light vision of 2 can see lit and dimly-lit squares illuminated by light sources, while a hero or monster with low-light vision of 3 can also see very dimly-lit squares.
