Low-light vision can see in the swarm's space as if it was normal light, but gains no benefit outside the swarm's space.

Waving a fragrant flower, you summon a swarm of silent glowbugs whose light can just barely be seen in the darkness.

You summon a swarm of harmless fireflies. You can direct the swarm of fireflies to to move at a speed of 40 ft. The firefly swarm cannot attack or take any actions besides movement. A swarm of fireflies summoned to match local fauna might be seen as a natural event. It takes an opposed Knowledge (nature) check against you to realize the infestation is not natural.
