If your heating scheme includes a heat lamp, then of course that's going to provide light during the day. If you just use a heat pad with no heat lamp then you'll need a light source as well to simulate daylight within the tank (ambient light levels in your home almost certainly won't be bright enough by themselves). In this case make sure that the light isn't also adding heat that you hadn't bargained for.
Whatever light source you have, it should be on for about 12 hours per day, or 14 in summer. Switching it off should prompt your leo to come out of its hide box and look for food, so you should feed it at the same time you switch the light off. Even if there are still significant ambient light levels in the room your leo's tank is in, the decrease in light levels should trigger this behavior (it'll think it's dusk, which is an active time for nocturnal creatures).
