Yep, I'd ditch the bright light as well. Your bp and your leo do not need it in the slightest. I provide a day/night cycle only with ambient room light. Whatever light comes through the windows to brighten the room is what I use. My leo is growing well with this.

And as mentioned, your leo probably shed and you didn't see it. I've had my leo for a couple of years now and I've never seen her shed. She gobbles it up fast.
