Do they need light when germinating seeds?

When I put pepper seeds in a flowerpot and cover them with a little soil and put them in a warm place, does it have to have light? In one room we have winter and light and in the other we have warmth and darkness. But they probably need the light to know where to grow, don't they? Of course, after climbing over the ground, I will bring them to light. But I would leave the germination underground warm, but it's dark there. Does it matter?

Answer :

They don't need light when germinating (they couldn't germinate underground ;-)), they need light when they have leaves - for photosynthesis ...
