Question

If your cat is completely blind, then it won't make a difference if there is any light or no light. If she still has some vision, then some light will help her. Some causes of blindness are reversible in cats if treated immediately, so I would strongly recommend taking her to your vet ASAP to see if her blindness is treatable and reversible.
