As long as the light isn't right up against Sunshine's cage it should be fine. If you need to work in the room while she is still sleeping, a cover can be placed on her enclosure to help keep her quiet and sleeping without bothering her from the light change. Placing a cover on at night and removing it in the mornings can also help set a good sleep schedule and reduce night terrors as well.
