I remember long long ago researching a paper for a course in psych where the topic was visual accuity at very low illumination levels. A lot of test data of exactly this general type was in the literature. I think that's one of the things clinical psychologists do for a living, design and conduct just such tests. They probably sell their consulting services to among others, engineers.
