This adds a simple little widget that displays the player's light level. The Skyrim engine, especially when using an ENB, is not always great at detecting when you are standing next to a light source or in a shadow. This is especially annoying if you use a detection overhaul like RAID, or something that allows vampires to regenerate stats in shadows like Sacrosanct or Vampires Regen in Shade.
The widget has 5 levels of light detection:
Very Dark (25 or less) is a purple moon
Dark (26-50) is a blue moon
Dim (51-75) is a turquoise sun
Bright (76-100) is a yellow sun
Very Bright (101+) is a red sun
Colors and alpha (opacity) of all stages can be easily changed in the iWant Status Bars "Icons" tab in the MCM. So, for example, if you don't want the widget to appear unless it is dark, select Bright or Very Bright where it says "State Selection" and change the "alpha" to 0. Position and the ability to toggle via hotkey can be changed in the "Bars" tab. iWant Status Bars is a great tool and I recommend getting acquainted with it.
Icons and cutoffs are really the only things that can't be changed in the MCM. I chose 50 as the cutoff between Dark and Dim because that is the level where Sacrosanct detects you being in the shadows. Vampires Regen in Shade seems to use 60; I don't know about Better Vampires or any other overhaul.
When testing, I noticed that the widgets would not appear sometimes, especially if I tried to access the iWant Status Bars MCM without waiting for it to load. I was always able to get them to reappear by toggling the widgets via hotkey.
