Haven't tested it out yet (I will), but that's my memory as well. My first and only char for a long time was a barb shaman. The way you describe it is how I remember it as well. Couldn't see perfectly just down the tunnel from Halas in the newbie area, but it wasn't pitch black. And you could see on the Tundra pretty far away as long as it wasn't snowing, even at night.
The tunnel from EF to BB was frightening, though, when you had to go through it to get your corpse in BB... so blind without your candle or torch. Trying to find your way to a torch in the tunnel to get bearings and hope you didn't get turned around and go back the way you came just to have to do it again. Day or night didn't matter in the tunnel without a light source.
