Do overlapping darklight lanterns stack?

Nothing says they don't work on each other, so do they stack?

Kind of important for Darkvision folks: if they get one, two, or three level reductions or not.

Spoiler:
This lantern does not burn oil, but instead burns shadowcloy (see below). When shadowcloy is used as its fuel, this lantern creates a strange, hazy darkness that decreases the light level for 30 feet around it by one step . Unlike when shadowcloy is thrown at a single target, this haze does not decrease natural darkness to supernatural darkness. One flask of shadowcloy fuels a darklight lantern for 1 minute.

For that matter, do multiple Darkness spells that overlap cause additional drops in light levels?

All the sources of light and darkness have similar language or +X or -X levels of illumination and not a single one stacks.

OK. So ambient is reduced one level and that is it. No matter if they overlap or not. Thanks. The wording was a little sketchy, because they don't use "ambient" and instead use "light level 30' around it (not ambient?)." Which, if already reduced, would reduce again... as opposed to "ambient" levels just getting reduced one level. I was just wondering if wispy darkness + more and more wisps = darker darkness. Guess not.

Reading "light level for 30 feet around it" = ambient = ok, thanks.
