Building with it

A golden carrot in an awkward potion lights the world as if it were day for three minutes. Underwater it helps even more than in caves, since it cuts through the blue haze, and extended with redstone it lasts a full eight minutes.

In practice

Night vision is at its best underwater, where it cuts through the blue haze that torches cannot fix. The last ten seconds flicker as a warning, and the practical habit is to drink the next bottle at the first flicker rather than waiting for the dark.
