Just want a clear view of everything espically using mod like far reach . But don't want mess with the actural day/night mechanism(like solar panel stops at night) .

Run the editor (in the console, /editor), get in the settings tab, the first option should be what you need I think.

thanks , but i have to keep editor open for this to work. I don't know if i uncheck all the cheat options in editor the game will behave normal but not like in the sandbox mode.

Is there a sepatate console command to do this ? /c game.player.surface.always_day=true just frozen the time at 12.am .

Sorry, I can't help you further (but hopefully somebody else can )

Maybe this:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ClearNightvision Not updated to 1.1 though

Personally I like this, but that's quite different:

There is a mod or two used by streamers to have brighter nights. I can't remember what it's called though

Afraid Of The Dark is the one

This console command makes it significantly brighter at night (full-on Hollywood bright blue moonlight style), it might be possible to use the same function to make night look exactly the same as day but the formula is tricky and I'm feeling sluggish. You might also have to mess with the day/night colour lookup tables as well which a console command can't do but a mod can.

There is a way to do that without commands. There are night vision goggles in factorio vanilla and if you download the afraid of the dark mod you will be able to craft perfect night glasses.
