I would go for a warmer light too rather than bright white.
My room can be very dark & like Rainbow I put a light on if I need it but don’t keep one on otherwise.
One of my cages is in quite a dark corner at the north end of the room which gets very little light & it’s never been a problem with any of the hamsters that lived there.
If you do go with a lamp or light on try to keep it to daylight hours, they do respond to the seasons & it helps with their natural rhythms although many of us have lights on in the same room as the hamsters you don’t need constant light beyond daylight hours.
