I once again call upon the collective...

Oddly enough. I've never had light penalties come up in a game until very recently.

I understand there are penalries for darkness. -10 for total, and a -0 for normal light. Everything else falls inbetween there.

My question is how does light work. Is it a -X per yard of distance, or just a flat -X.

And light sources give a bonus to this roll. Along with a few advantages etc.
