What would it be like standing in a room covered in this stuff with a small 40 watt bulb hanging in the middle...

Some interesting effects of being in a totally soundproof room.

Sensory deprivation? People pay$$$ for that sort of thing.

"in a room covered in this stuff"

You would walk into a wall not knowing it was a wall. Just some force field you could not see that was stopping you.

Your only focus point would be the light and you might want to tone that down to 0.5 watts 'cause it will be bright.

You will be in the Twilight Zone.

That reminds me of a scene from Mr. Hobbs Takes A Vacation.

"That's not a light. It's a dark. You turn it on and the room actually gets darker."

Interesting thought experiment. I imagine one would see only the bulb glowing in an apparent void. Would probably be a bit disorienting.

Methinks one would not only see the light bulb along with your own skin and clothing in a black void, unless you were dressed in black clothes and painted with carbon nano-tubes in which case you would effectively be invisible to anybody else in the room at the same time.
