Lighting for Hognose?

I plan on purchasing everything I need for my new hoggie this weekend and I had read that they are diurnal, and do best when provided day/night light schedules? I guess my question is, how would I go about doing this while she is still a hatchling (and in a 5 liter tub)? Would this kind of light hurt her eyes? She will be staying in my room with little natural light so I hate that it would be dark all the time. Or could I possibly place a desk lamp focused on her tub and put that on a timer?

I don't keep any sort of light on my hognose, he seems to do just fine with natural light coming through the windows

Ah. Yeah that's the thing. No natural light really coming to this room haha. However I did figure out a solution! She's staying in a tub in my bookcase so I bought a stick on LED and placed it on the underside of a bookshelf shelf and my tub will go right beneath (with the lid on of course so the light can't fall inside the tub and injure her).
