At 8 weeks you don't probably need a light for heat, unless maybe if you are in a very cold area.

Do you mean they won't go into the coop(chicken house) at night?
or they won't go into the run(outside fenced chicken yard)?
It is common to recommend that you lock the chicks in the coop for a few days to a couple weeks to teach them that the coop is home.
A lot of people report that their chickens won't go into a dark coop, but most find that they go in as dusk approaches.
They don't need a light, but it won't hurt them.

I hope I was of some help.

The Emerald City is Seattle's nickname.
