To the OP: Yes, they would know if the area was lit IMO.Of course, if you have DS and can see in darkness "normally" you should be able to see in dim light normally. After all, dim light is brighter than darkness. So, I wouldn't need DV to see in dim light normally if I had DS. DS also shows colors as if vision was normal. It is basically superior to DV in every respect.
