Okay, here's the old list I had:
  • -1: 20-100 lux. Dim Indoor Lighting, brightly lit outdoor areas at night, twilight (10-20m after sunset)
  • -2: 5-20 lux. Major streets at night. Twilight (20-30m after sunset)
  • -3: 1-5 lux. Torch at 2 yards, typical street lights, twilight (30-40m)
  • -4: 0.2-1 lux. Full moon with clear skies.
  • -5: 0.05-0.2 lux. Partial moon, typical candle at 2 yards. Typical urban sky glow.
  • -6: 0.01-0.05 lux. Crescent moon. Typical suburban sky glow.
  • -7: 0.002-0.01 lux. Moonless clear night.
  • -8: 0.0005-0.002 lux. Moonless overcast night.
  • -9: <0.0005 lux. Wilderness nighttime with heavy clouds.
Nighttime clouds reduce natural sky light by 1-3 steps; daytime clouds usually do not reduce light by enough to cause a penalty.
