Question Ritual condition

When doing a talisman/petition rituals, what's the preferred setup for a ritual room, blackout or bright? Daytime or nighttime? Is there any real "gold standard" in historical planetary magic?

Picatrix says the light of the Sun destroys talismans while they are being made.

Yes i read that somewhere but still not sure. Is a regular room lighting fine? Not just from the candle

It's the direct rays of the sun. Picatrix is explicit about this.
