What was handled incorrectly? What rule was misapplied that you would cite in your protest? It is the umpire's judgemnt that it was too dark to continue, and he made that decision when it became too dark, in his opinion; that is what he should do. If it was light enough previously, as you stated, he did the right think in continuing. If it became too dark NOW, he did the right thing stopping the game.

Makes no difference to me, but so far, your only basis for protest is that your team lost based on a judgment call that it was unsafe to continue. It would clearly be seen as sour grapes when reviewed, and couldn't be won.
