“ There is one who understands their intent to be that the preferred practice is to search at night (Magen Avraham, comment 3) . This explanation does not suffice, since we already have seen established that searching by sunlight is for those who did not search at night [and why then the repetition?] ”

“ It is not only better than moonlight, but is even preferable to sunlight. For example, if the search did not take place at night and needs to be performed during the day, one should not search the rooms by sunlight, rather he should light a candle and search by its light, for a candle can be used to probe cracks and crevices. ”
