    Re: Light for health.

    i would probably feel uncomfortable if my guys were in a dark closet too. IMO i think a natural light cycle helps them know when it's "safe" time to be out and when its hide time, giving them a bit of routine.

    i would pick option A, but i would at least try B first to see just how much extra work it takes. but any type of light should work, just be cautious about heat building up in a small space.
