Would it be fair to say that of the two values, the first is the "minimum" darkness level of any otherwise unlit or uncovered tile, and the second is the "maximum" darkness level of a tile that has light blocked from it?
That is to say, all unlit tiles are at least bglob[0], but no more then bglob[1], dark.

What these values will be depend on offsets 74-76 in MISSION.DAT. Because offset 76 indexes into LOC.DAT, that likely means different mission types (eg. alien bases vs landed UFOs) use different lighting methods.
