Sadly it is hard. If your target is at Range you holding a torch does not help, also you cant use a Two handed weapon holding a torch, also, Cantrips cost one action and the light is stationary where you enemy is not. So when your getting shot by arrows your trying to light them up and follow them with light and not shooting back.

I find this VERY significant and using a non dark vision class, in my mind will GIMP you. The good news is Gale has a dark vision spell,,,but again that takes up a spell slot....

I am not sure you guys are noticing the "hindered by shadows" reduction to hit EVEN IF THERE ARE TORCHES. The fighter (non dark vision was like 27 percent hit) my Drow had like 67 percent chance to hit.. The DROW got a bonus "hit from the shadow" GUYS that is a HUGE DIFFERENCE

Sounds like , from these responses, people have not really been paying attention to this or noticed it.
