Dark stages

There are a lot of great ideas in this thread, but personally when I'm playing somewhere I know will be dark, I keep two very thin strips of electrical tape on the neck parallel to the fifth and twelfth frets.

I don't need to see every fret, but it helps landmark me...similar to the little bumps on the F and J keys on a keyboard.
THAT is the best idea I've read in ages !
