well, during the night yes, obviously. but during the day many areas of a castle would have been fairly well lit by natural sunlight entering through windows or simply areas of the castle that didn't have a roof. Other, more secure places such as a dungeon or maybe a storage room for weapons or resources probably were fairly dark at all times of the day and you would have needed torches to illuminate them.
