Is it possible to make darkness kill you?

I'm trying to make a level where being in total darkness kills you, but I don't know if its possible.

The simplest way would be to use Colliders to attach a Circle collider to each light source, and then just check those to kill the player. This will not work with shadows however, getting it to work with shadows is a lot more complicated.

cant i just make a timer that kills the player if it reaches 0, but refills if the player touches these colliders?

That would just mean you can stay alive out of light for a limited time, but it still wouldn't work for shadow casting (I'm referring to the "shadows" setting on the Darkness controls, not "standing in darkness").
