Question about lighting

Stupid question here...Does lighting matter when 3d printing? I'm new to 3d printing and I have a print that is going to take almost a full day (21 hrs), do I need to leave a light on in the room for the sensors to work correctly?

No.  Light is not needed.

No light needed. Unless you suspect mice may be interfering with your print. Has happened to me 🙁

Well.....if you want to be able to monitor your print at night via OctoPrint, you may want to have light so your webcam can see the print in progress.
