Subject says it all. In RL one of the few downsides to illuminating the crap out of everything is that it tends to attract bugs -- why not give factorio players the same problem?
For the record I'm not the first to suggest this but the last time it came up was 2016 (AFAICT in a quick search).

As if players didn't already disregard iluminating their bases.
A lot of people just running around they base wearing night vision like some kind of afraid of light techno-vampires.

If anything I'd turn it around. Make biters more nocturnal and aggressive at night, but maybe slow them down a bit with artificial light
