Shadow cloak & discorporating within Daylight

Shadow Cloak (Su): Three times per day, a dark one can wrap itself in a cloak of shadows that grants it concealment from its foes. In shadows or darkness, the shadow cloak gives the creature nine-tenths concealment (40% miss chance for attackers). In bright light, the shadow cloak provides only one-half concealment (20% miss chance). Darkvision does not negate the dark one’s concealment, since the shadow cloak is formed from magical darkness. Creatures that can see in magical darkness, such as devils, do not have a miss chance when striking a dark one.

Shadow Discorporation (Su): At 5th level, a Telflammar shadowlord learns how to use his mastery of shadows to cheat death. If the shadowlord is in shadow or darkness (anything but direct daylight or the illuminated radius of a light source), any damage that would reduce him to 0 hit points or below instead has a chance to discorporate him. The shadowlord attempts a Reflex save (DC 5 + damage dealt); if successful, he simply breaks apart into dozens of flitting shadows and vanishes, along with anything he is holding or carrying. At the next sunset, the shadowlord reappears at a spot of his choosing within one mile of the place where he was forced to discorporate. While discorporated, the shadowlord simply does not exist—he can do nothing, nor can any of his enemies do anything to him.
If a Dark Stalker Telflammar Shadowlord is standing in the bright radius of a daylight spell, but has his shadow cloak ability up and running (granting him concealment and a 20% miss chance from magical darkness), can he still discorporate if brought below 1 hit point?

I'd say no.  The shadow cloak gives him concealment, but he's still in a radius of bright light, that's why he only has 20% concealment rather than 40% concealment, and so shadow discorporation doesn't work.

i agree with that, since it doesn't mention changing the light level, only that he gains concealment
