In the dark, most transducin is localized to the outer segment, while most arrestin is found in other parts of the cell; in this condition, vision is most sensitive to very low light levels.

In bright light, little transducin is found in the outer segment, and abundant arrestin is found there; in this condition,vision is relatively insensitive to small changes in light.
