Default Question: Should I or shouldn't I?

I am running a light over my sump, over top the refuge area. Now I am just wondering if I have to? In this area I use to have cheato, but that was a long time ago, now it has a DSB (8-10 inches) with about 8-10 inches of Live Rock and LR Rubble. So this light shines on the rock/water.

now is there any benefit to me still having this light on, or am I just wasting energy. Does is still help with PH, Pod life, etc.

your views are appreciated, just wondering.
