History
Creating a yellow or black light when confused was added in NetHack 3.6.0. Older versions of NetHack and variants will not have this behavior, and will always darken the room.
Strategy
While useful for lighting up a single room, a more efficient option is using a wand of light, spellbook of light, or a lamp, brass lantern or other light source. Therefore, this scroll is a good candidate for blanking.
UnNetHack
In UnNetHack, reading a scroll of light while confused has a different effect than reading a cursed scroll. If blessed or uncursed, it will summon 5-10 Yellow lights scattered throughout the level. If the scroll is cursed, it will instead summon up to 15 Black lights.
