To recognize a person, you have to see more than a blob. A successful vision roll is 'see and recognize', not 'see'.

This probably has to do with pupil size, and doesn't apply if you don't have Bad Sight. Also, your direct indoor illumination is likely 1,000 lux or lower.

Visibility modifiers in combat.

Typically adding NUV will give you something like 10-20% more light if it's sunlight, almost nothing if your primary light source is fire or incandescent. Adding NIR will give you around double the light for sunlight, something like five times the light for firelight.
