Hello everybody,
I hope I am at the Right Thread, so I try to make an indoor scene look like night, but the problem is, it is in a cave with no access to outdoor light so HDRI are not an option also removing the environment is also not an option I want to use ghost lights to make it look dark but still visible like our eyes adjust to the dark I thought I would use kind of blue ghost lights to make it look night, but I don't know which blue would make sense and which emission temperature, and also I know you can just do it in post work, but I want to do it in Daz if possible, but I don't know if it is possible most tutorials show to make it with HDRI but as I said HDRI is no option.

Try making the cave surface Emissive, low lumens and white with a blue tinge, or else use a distant light shining in through the cave mouth.
Thank you for your suggestion I tried it, but it didn't work so well in the end I chose to make a plane exact size as the Cave put it like a ceiling above the scene and turned it into an Emissive light with white blueish light RGB 125 135 255 with K temperature of 8000 and made it into a ghost light with 40 Lumen kcd/m² for now. I will change the lumen if I need more light yeah it's not that realistic but for render purpose it's okay it shows what it needs I am lucky that I still work with Daz 4.15 where Ghostlights are easy to do.
Ghosts lights in 4.21+ are much better than the older versions (bug version ghost light). You may take a look at this : https://www.daz3d.com/luminosity-boundless-wide-area-lighting
