Candlelight.  Sedagive.

First meeting, bright.  From the second meeting on, candlelight.

I prefer to wear one of those flashlights you strap on to your head (kind of like the coal miners wear). That way you can get a really good look before you take the plunge!

c)bright like sunshine

Moonlight (esp.  during full moon) shining through an open window, curtains drawn. If that is not possible, dimmed lights, then candlelight is sufficient.

That way I have to feel with my hands (and tongue).

I used candle light and soft pink light bulbs in the bedroom to be more flattering to my female guests.  Now that I'm older, I still use them, only now it's to make me look better to them!  How time changes things.

Being the visual guy that I am, part of the experience for me is always to soak in the beautiful view of the woman in front of me.  You don't need bright lights (we're not grading beef), but I do prefer enough light to appreciate the woman whose company I'm about to enjoy.  It's a visual feast which I don't want to miss.
