Leopard Gecko Night lighting

[Csstone495]

HI all,

New leo owner here! So recently I have been turning on a Philips hue bulb(lowest dim) during feeding time mostly for my viewing but ive noticed that if I leave it on after he eats hes more active and social. Im wondering if anyone has seen that at night time leos are more active with a very dim night light as opposed to complete darkness? like maybe it mimics moonlight?

For more context during the day I have a shadedweller from like 7am-7pm and a DHP on all the time. Before using the dim light it was no light from 7pm to 7am. Feeding time is about 830pm most of the time and hes about 3 months old.

Thanks

I don't use lights at all for my leopard geckos, though I'm up late in the living room so the overhead lights are on. Some of them are active and others are hiding.
