Hello,
Just curious if light is necessary for dormancy/semi-dormancy?
Thanks ???

Posting which plants you are referring to would be more likely to elicit an answer.

Temperate plants maybe no, but I'd say it is less than ideal. Some growers in cold climates bury their Sarracenia and Dionaea bogs in mulch for winter. They don't necessarily all survive the experience.
With plants like Nepenthes which largely originate from equatorial regions, there is no dormancy in the same sense as for temperate plants and I very much doubt that you would get away with switching the lights off.
