Too lazy to go get my iPad, but I'm pretty sure there's a note about the lighting in the company pages. So apparently the lighting issue is serious enough to be known.
Anecdotally, last year when I requaled we did a scenario in Vegas and the ckam asked " what's weird about Vegas?
I had never been, the captain says " the lighting" or something to that effect.

This is one of those situations to be glad it wasn't you, because next time, it may be you. Different airport, different circumstances. But it could be you.
A good reminder to slow down and read the pages.

Probably on of those flow guys, with a GED and three DUI's.

Ya, the FO is a tool.
The misleading part of this video is that the runway does not have CL lights that were working. They saw the edge lights and thought they were the CL lights. Really could have happened to a lot of crews, especially when we are all used to seeing CL lighting.

Bull*******t. Ridiculous statement. This was a bonehead move by those two. No excuse for this. They not only recognized their bonehead mistake the captain proceeded to continue. Complete incompetence.
