How much light for Sarracenia dormancy?

I know Sarracenia don't need as much light during dormancy as during the growing period, but how much is enough? I have an unheated room where mine could spend their dormancy as temperatures drop below 10°, but it's really quite dim. I know about fridge dormancy where plants don't receive light at all, but I don't think mine would go into a dormancy as deep.

Any suggestions?

I think as long as the right dormancy temps is achieved, light will probably the the least thing you need to worry about. But when spring comes in, that is when light is very crucial.

My best dormancies for Sarracenias & VFT's were when we lived in an apartment that had an attic. I simply placed the pots at the windows and let nature determine the cues for waking them up. Temps probably varied beween 20's to 50's durimg the winter.
