How much light would individual ships need? Do you expect light sources of living beings near the star would need to shine at stellar brightness to see?
Why would you expect (an advanced civilization) would need enough light near that star- to be visible outside of the solar system?
Additionally, their work light outside of their sphere (assuming they wanted to go outside of the sphere), would be directional.
It would need to be immensely bright to reflect or pointed directly at us.
We don't know what they are, a lack of other additional light is odd. I want to know more about them.
