Above-ground bulbs. Light during dormancy?

Due to slow but inevitable increase in my bulb collection, I no longer have
space to store dormant summer-growing plants in my greenhouse. However, we
have a crawl space under the house that is sealed and dehumidified. The
temperature in midwinter hovers around 15 C, maybe a little cooler if pots
are sitting directly on the floor. It seems ideal for storing bulbs, but I
wonder about bulbs that naturally grow above ground. Do they need light
while dormant? Specifically, I'm wondering about Merwilla plumbea and some
summer-growing Boophone disticha seedlings.
