Electrician is coming tomorrow to wire for my outlets. I don’t plan on using lights as I don’t want to effect their natural cycle, is there any reason to have a light installed anyway?

I like having them. I have flood lights outside the coop and for the run that come on with a photocell. I have a switch so I can override it if I don't want it to come on. I also have one on the inside of a fairly large walk-in coop so I can see better when I go in. I also can use it when I decide to give them some extra light which I do sometimes.Electrician is coming tomorrow to wire for my outlets.

Here are the various ways I've used the multiple lights I have installed around my coop and run:Electrician is coming tomorrow to wire for my outlets. I don’t plan on using lights as I don’t want to effect their natural cycle, is there any reason to have a light installed anyway?
A light can be useful for maintenance, troubleshooting, or emergencies. You could install one on a separate switch or use a motion-activated option to avoid affecting the natural cycle.I like having them.

But, no, there is no reason that you actually have to have one. It is entirely up to you Metairie electrician. Electrician is one of the things I am professionally, so not a biggie to install for me.
I also have receptacles inside and out if I need to plug something in.
