When we close our eyes are we "seeing" dark or do our eyes shutdown?

RE: When we close our eyes are we "seeing" dark or do our eyes shutdown?
Eyelids are overrated. They let light in, so if you have bright light your eyes will still capture some strong light if itr is around.
An experiment, look (briefly, < 1 second) at the sun. go to a dark room and close your eyes.

Is that light that you see, or the retina cells overloaded?

I was stupid enough when young to spend a whole afternoon welding with electrical arch without a mask. For those that want to test this, be pre,pared for a night of pure pain.
