Corn snakes dont need any sort of additional lighting - for most people its to light up the viv to give better viewing.

If you really want some kind of lighting in there make sure you use a timer(and a bulb guard!).

If he gets natural daylight then i cant see it affecting him.

Most snakes come out in the dark anyway.

corns are crepescular (most active at dawn and dusk) they do not need any additional lighting, but if you want to put one in so you can see him better then there's no problem with that. :)
