This may greatly depend on the viewpoint you hold. If you believe that light destroys the darkness, then they are equally as powerful. Or, to be more precise, darkness is far more abundant (quantity), while light is more concentrated (quality). However, if you support any theory that regards darkness as something more than "absence of light", then you can argue that light cannot erase darkness, merely makes it invisible to most. And if light loses this property, it's only reasonable to follow with proposition that darkness is more powerful than light.

Curiously enough, there is yet to be any philosophy that attempts to justify the opposite situation, where light is clearly superior to darkness. Unless you count the justification along the lines of "light is good, therefore it is superior", which I tend to ignore simply because these powers / elements alone should be amoral.
