The light from the window will work fine, just be careful not to let the tank receive direct sunlight or it could overheat. The light from the window will be enough to enable them to cycle / set their internal clocks. In my experience, the more brightly lit the cage, the more likely the leos are to hide. If you go for the dimmer light from the window you are more apt to see your leos out during the day.
