If I make an area completely dark, via control light, and someone later uses a light spell, or enters the area with a lantern or something, does that negate the control light? Or is the light source suppressed by the control light? My feeling is, since control light is a concentration power, you "adapt" to the new light source and snuff it out. Anyone have any comments?

Control light affects the illumination of an area rather than suppressing any light source, so a lantern or other non-magical light source would cease to give off light (but wouldn't be snuffed out) when it enters the area automatically rather than through any concentrative "adaptation".
