It determines how much light you need, which is not quite the same thing.For instance, say you're sneaking up on an enemy camp, centered around a big bonfire. If you're standing in the darkness you can see the bad guys, because they're lit. But if you're outside the radius of the light, they can't see you.If the bonfire has light radius 60', and you're a human, you can spot an enemy who is 60' away from the fire. If you're an elf, you can spot enemies who are up to 120' away from the fire. It doesn't really matter where you are relative to the camp; distance applies a negative to your Spot check, but that has nothing to do with the lighting conditions.Darkvision is a whole other animal, since it only works on things close to you. You can see things within 60' of you, period. The ability is unaffected by lighting conditions, and does not stack with low-light vision.So to answer your questions:When your dungeon-delver elf is holding that light source, he can see monsters 120' away. Darkvision never comes into play.When the light source is located somewhere else, he can see in two areas: a circle with radius 120' centered on the light source, and a circle with 60' radius centered on himself. These areas may overlap.</blockquote>
