I guess there's some niche applications but that's easily defeated with blackout curtains. Plus soldiers on a base are already pulling night shifts, making everyone on a "night shift". Still, they can only guarantee 100 lux (comparable to indoor lighting) for continuous periods with 50k+ satellites. That's a shit ton of infrastructure all tuned into one small operation.
