if in total darkness there is no light at all, then u will not see anything. not even a flashlight would even help cause there would be no light for it to reflect off of, im guessing it reflects off of light waves. and for that i guess only infravsion would make sence cause there is no need for light but only the heat. so in "total darknes" infra would be better. but i am no expert but i do have some logic /brain flex. :lol
