It depends what the temp is. If you have a thermostat rigged to say, 33 degrees, it should turn off when the enclosure hits that temp.

If the globe is red or blue coloured, then the light shouldn't bother them.

They should be given a day night cycle. Do you like sleeping with the light on You can either switch the lights on and off everyday or buy a timer to do it for you.

I use a timer to switch off all the lights and heat at night, all through the year. My beardies are healthy and happy.

give them about 12 -14 hrs light then night time sorta like outside
my younger beardies will have hat mat at night soon as it gets colder it still about 22-25 deg in my hut overnight so no rea need yet i think

i sleep with lights on i finsh work at 9 am and beardie lights are on and i am not crazy i swear

But if the globe is a heat globe coloured red/blue isn't that just fine to be on during the night? Seeing as they can't see that spectrum or some such?

i think so philk i have one of those night light in the adult s enclosure and in the snake one 6.50 or sumthing from herp shop

Yeah I have a red globe too and it doesn't bother Scurvy at all... So Wardy, if your globe is red/blue coloured it should be sweet.

Beardies should be fine with no night heating if kept indoors.

[wardy]

i keep my light on at night ( there in my room aswell ) its a red 1 but there in a mesh cage so at night its cold (sometimes) and they dont have any other heat.
i guess you can turn it off but its better to keep it on
