Re: Noobish question ........
I think apart from making the screen brighter or darker it affects the radius at which monsters are triggered so a low radius might be handy when say teleporting or moving along corrridors and a high radius might be handy for drawing monsters into an aura field to damage them.

Note: On my old character, it was slightly useful because I had the monitor configured wrong for the 'Darkness' quest in Act2 - I literally couldn't see anything outside of my char's light radius. It's not an issue on my current comp though.
That's a common misconception - a character's light radius has absolutely no relationship with monster AI. All it does is make the screen lighter/darker for a bigger area around your character.

It's pretty useless - the only time I ever noticed it was when I was first playing and I had found Duskdeep Helm, The Umbral Disc Shield, Goblin Toe Boots and a Shadow Fang Sword. I equipped them all at once just for the sake of it - during night time and when in caves etc I couldn't see a damn thing for more than an inch around my character.
