Lights during cycling?

The only positive is that it can get the "ugly stages" (algae/diatom growth) started faster and potentially over quicker.. Those that wait tend to have a 30 day cycle then lights.. then the algae starts and its another month or whatever till that passes..
Those that don't start to get the algae in the 15 day mark and by 45 days its all gone..
(note those numbers were just for demonstration purposes only and are not hard/fast/guaranteed times)

But the real cycling process happens regardless of light for the most part..
