First off, Thank you.

The durability of Sable's creations, mainly depends on how much he has to work with and how much of his body he wants to cover. For instance, if he just has the shadows that his cloak creates then he could either make a full body suit of plate that would be about as strong as a suit of leather armor or he could make a chest piece that would be comparible to steel. Usually, though the Shadow Plate is comparable high strength steel.

How long the Shadow Plate can last in non-natural light depends on the intensity of the light. Something like a high powered flood light would dissolve the Shadow Plate in about 8 minutes, while while a well lit room would dissolve it in about 20 minutes. Sunlight itself, would disetagrate the plate in roughly 5 minutes.

His Semblance certainly becomes less effective when not in a dark enviroment but he can always use at least to it's minimum potential thanks to his cloak. Additionally, Sable has a tendency to seek out those little patches of darkness that exist everywhere and if he's expecting a fight he will use those shadows to either build up his mail or patch it up from the damage the light has caused.

So, while an argument can be made that pitch black enviroment dosen't have any shadows, that it is simply the absence of light, for Sable at least it's an enviroment where the shadows are so thick that they smother any light.
