The speed of light in vacuum is, in metric units, 299,792,458 meters per second (1,079,252,848.8 km/h).
In imperial units, the speed of light is 983,571,056 feet per second, which is about 186,282.397 miles per second, or roughly one foot per nanosecond.
Either way, it is considerably faster than the speed of dark.
