if i were you i would leave the light on during the day and turn the light off when you go to bed. This reason is during the day, like in the wild the sun which in this case is the light warms up the water, and then at night when the sun goes down the water cools off!

∙ 14y agoI think it would be OK to leave the lights off if the room has plenty of natural daylight. If it does not have good natural daylight, I would leave the lights on. That is of course only if you are only going to be away for a weekend. If you are going to be away for longer maybe an electronic timer switch could be installed.
