It would be especially bright if it was summer also.

The fact that Carribean is in "tropical zone" has nothing to do with nights being light. Actually the more north or south from the equator you go, the more lighter the nights are in the summer time. And the closer you get to the equator, the darker the nights are (also the brighter the DAYS), almost the same throughout the year. Nights are longer near the poles in the winter time, and in mid winter, above the arctic circle, sun won't rise at all so in winter here is truly dark. But this is from real life, I don't know how mod handles this.

And yes, i have also the bright night broblem, but maybe it is just that I happen to have extremely light night right now at the game , need to play more...
