What if the Ruru was used in the Tunnel of Darkness

The Tunnel of Darkness is a light- and sound-absorbing tunnel that lies between Metru Nui and Karzahni.

What will happen if the Ruru the Mask of Night Vision was used in the Tunnel of Darkness?

The Great version allows its user to cast a beam of light that allows them and those nearby to see. That part of the mask power is useless in the tunnel.

However the mask also grants the user normal night vision.

Can this night vision work in the tunnel as the tunnel only absorbs light and sound?

Since Nuparu who was a onu matoran and takanuva, a toa of light, could not pierce the cave of darkness itcmakes sense kanohi rurus light amd night vision couldn’t also.

Actually, Ruru (even a noble version) could in fact see inside the tunnel of darkness. The reason is this mask does not need any light in order to let you see. It is also vastly superior to the basic Onu-Matoran night vision.

"When he pressed Whenua for an explanation of his words, the Turaga shook his head. ‘I meant nothing. Besides, we have far greater things to worry about than that right now.’
At first, Onua did not know what he could be talking about. Then he remembered that the Kanohi Ruru mask Whenua wore gave the Turaga far greater night vision than even the Toa possessed."

Onu-Matoran eyes gives you sight in low-light conditions. Kanohi Ruru gives you sight in no-light conditions. The flashlight function of the great version woud not work though, so only the user would be able to see.
