Lights, when germinating in soil

I always used to germinate via wet paper towel. This time I planted my seeds directly into soil, in my propagation tray w/lid and heat mat. Should I start giving them light right away, or should I let them germinate overnight first?

I just turn the light on, it helps warm the surface which is good for germination & also good incase it pops while your sleeping.

Yeah, I just ended up turning on the CFL I've got hanging above. I figure, people put seeds in the ground outside, where the light is on LOL
