Problem description:

Im using night/day system in my game, and im trying to make it so if u like, got a certain item equipped the night effect doesnt affect you for 4 squares <.<
world
    area = /area/outside

    New()
        ..()
        for(var/area/outside/O in world)
            spawn() O.daycycle()


area
    outside
        icon = 'Night.dmi'
        layer = 999
        var
            lit = 1


        proc
            daycycle()
                lit = 1 - lit
                if(lit)
                    icon_state = "dark"
                    night = 1
                else
                    icon_state = ""
                    night = 0
                spawn(150) daycycle()


    inside
        luminosity = 1

is there any way that if i equip a candle or something the area icon state changes from "dark" to normal in the 4 squares around you and when you move the area icon state of those 4 squares follows you or something?

thats the best way i can explain it lol >.<

You want to read about the luminosity variable. which was stated in that copy of Shadowdarke's demo >_>

i forgot to mention that i didnt want to use luminosity cause its all black <.<i want to use a slightly dark overlay so u can still see trough it, just not as good.
<br/> i did try this demo:
http://developer.byond.com/hub/Shadowdarke/ sd_DynamicAreaLighting_Demo

thats kinda what im looking for.

I know what you are talking about. In the reference of the luminosity variable (hence the link), it states that if you increase the variable amount (excluding for area), that's how much brither it will get. Eg: 
mob
  luminosity=1 //can see 1 square away

obj/Candle
  verb/Light()
    usr.luminosity+=3 //adds 3 to the usr's lum. var, making the usr see 4 squares away
Note in the example I didn't have any safety checks (like if the candle was already lighted) as I wanted to show you what you wanted.
