In effect, it'll probably be more like a bright sunny day vs. an
overcast day, due to light being reflected from the day side to the
"night" side. The "night" side may also receive tinted light, depending
on the overall colour of structures on the day side.

You may want to rethink placing any living organisms near the central
light source. It might get pretty hot, and certainly blindingly bright.
