From my 18 years experience at sea, at night the only light on the bridge was an anglepoise over the chart table, and every now and then a torch over the coffee makings. Night vision was all important. Again forward facing port holes/windows had to have the deadlights closed/curtains drawn for the same reason. So in reality, during peace time and I assume on neutral ships during war time, the front of the superstructure of a ship would be relatively dark with possibly a faint glow showing through curtains in officer's cabins.

As I said to Anvart before, it depends on how far he wants/is able to go. What he has done so far is really good.
