There is a narrow slit in the cover that allows a small amount of light through. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackout_%28wartime%29 Quote A blackout in time of war, or apprehended war, refers to the practice of collectively minimizing external light, including upward-directed (or reflected) light. This was done in the 20th century to keep the crews of enemy aircraft from being able to navigate to their targets simply by sight. -- Last edit: 2008-06-10 17:33:51

In fact they were probably ineffective on both counts - certainly casualties in vehicle/pedestrian accidents increased considerably in the blackout.
