They both are coming from the "i" adjective "kurai" meaning "dark"

'kurakute miemasen' = literally The darkness is such so that I cannot see

'kurai node miemasen'= literally Because it is dark, I cannot see.

Totally interchangeble, though the second one may sound a little more formal with the use of "node" instead of the more familiar "kara".

"Kurai kara miemasen"
